Stern lifting prop for 20 MA with bracket

[bartt]

I have a 1970 20 MA with a bracket and a 200 HPDI. The boat is a little heavy in the rear and would like to be able to stuff the bow in a little more on choppy days. I have tried to put on trim tabs but the bracket does not allow enough vertical height on the transom to have them mount correctly.

I have read that stern lifting props could help. The boat current has a Power Tech SS 3 bladed prop size 14.25 x 19. I called Power Tech and they said a 4 bladed prop in size 14.25 X 18 would give me a very noticeable difference in choppy conditions as be able to get on plane at slower speeds.

Could any of you prop gurus comment if I should head on this course of action. The guy from Power Tech also said the 4 bladed prop should cost around $600 but may be able to find better deals on the web. I have done some quick searching but haven't been able to locate any? Any suggestions?
I'm trying to add some photos so you can see how the boat sits in the water.

Also on a final note, anybody want to buy some brand new Lenco trim tabs with controls new still in the box?


Thanks in advance,
