15 x 17 pitch, large surface areas on the blades. Will make it easy on your engine to keep rpms steady.

My brother's 250 HO came with a 20 pitch four blade BRP prop (don't remember the model name) lot's of stern lift however was a challenge to keep a steady planning speed in rough water. Had a pair of 17 pitch 3 blade Rebel props from his other boat and tried it for the heck of it, made a really big difference in the boat's performance, yeah lost a bit of top end speed but the normal 3000 to 4500 mode the engine came alive, NO stress, much quicker to plane and it actually improved his GPH.

Good luck.
