I have a Donzi Classic 22, year 2000, Engine 8.1L Mercury Horizion 375 HP with a Bravo 1 drive and IMCO lower unit. What prop would you recommend for acceleration and crusing. Sometimes pulling skiers and at other times crusing 30 miles one way run to Catalina Island off the California coast. I presently have a Mercury Mirage S.S. 22 pitch prop.
Thanks for your support, consideration and recommendation
BTW very nice and informative web site.

Hello Paul,
There are a variety of 4 blade propeller options that can improve pulling power, cruise speed and fuel economy. One of my favorites on your hull would be the Mercury Revolution 4 propeller. When you have some time, call us and we can set you up with a coupe 4 blade propellers for testing.
Thank you for the question and the compliment.
Brett
