Actually, you are better off with factory props vs. most aftermarkets anyways, in general.

Take most any aftermarket wheel and hold it up against your factory one (same diameter/pitch) and look closely at the construction/detail/design......

THEN seatrial each one.....you'll see what I mean. We've always run factory props, even at the extra $$$.

Marty,

Is that Sailfish a 25' with 9'6" beam? If so, that is a heavy boat for those 140's - check the WOT as suggested, those motors redline is very high, like 6200 rpm - optimum cruise might be around 5000 to 5200 rpm.

A buddy with a similarly heavy 25' SeaCat with the 140 Zukes cruises at 5200rpm for 26 knots and typical trolls 1900-2200 rpm depending on seas.
