Need prop advise on new to me 1991 Pantera II DC & 1991 175 Xri Merc

Hey Guys it has taken me 17 years but I finally bought the prettiest boat I have ever seen or fished out. It is a 1991 Basscat Pantera II DC with a 1991 Mercury 175 XRI standard jackplate and a Mercury High 5 prop. I have been told the boat will perform better with a different prop but the previous owner couldnt remember what. I am a big guy and so it my fishing buddy, combined weight plus gear will be between 600 to 700 lbs. With a fully loaded boat what do you suggest for top speed and what mph can I expect? Also would like to here comments on other props and there benefits vs. top speed. Thanks for any and all help. jmd Centerton, Arkansas

You would be better to ask the same question on the other board here, but Ill give it a shot. You probably need a Trophy or Tempest prop. 23p would be ballpark. you can probably find this prop pretty easy on other classified ad pages. Top speed will be ballpark mid 60s. Good luck!
