I recently bought a Weldcraft maverick 186 DV with off shore bracket, 115 main and 6 horse kicker.
Motors run fine but the boat seams to be stern heavy and has poor hole shot, Even with just Me and my son. Once she gets going she’s fast and a smooth girl. With more people she is slow getting on plane as well.
I want better holeshot and plane sooner.
Especially if I plan on Pulling my kids this summer.
Prop on there now is aluminum 3x14x21 and has some nicks and rough edges on it. It needs a new prop.

Should I go stainless? 4 blade? Less or more of a pitch?
Couple of web sites suggest 4 blade 19 pitch or even 17 for water sports.
Also is it worth it to go stainless over aluminum?
Thanks in advance

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
