The old omc sst was an entry level stainless prop that works great with the SeaCraft hull. It had a decent amount of cupping on the trailing edge of the blades that provided some stern lift. There's a few of those still around. Avoid the sst 2, as it has cupping on the tips that provide bow lift.
A stiletto bay pro 3 is what's on mine. It's a 4 bladed 14 1/4 x 15 with low rake and lots of cup on trailing edges and tips. Picks the whole hull up.
Another member had one of their 3 blades that worked real well also.
