re: What type of prop do i need?

would try a 17 P Turbo or a 17 P Trophy Plus. The Turbo is 3 blade and the Trophy is a 4 blade. Both will need the Flo Torq hub kit. I run the Turbo on my H-51 but am looking for a Trophy as I recently hear good things about them on the Xpress hulls. Xpress also likes a lot of setback so consider a jack plate if you are looking for the best performance.

You are on the right track but this guy doesnt have the hyperlift hull so his needs are different.

Trophy: i run this as one of my props. Good prop for the padded xpress hulls. This is an option for OP but not my first choice for him as it has lots of stern lift

Jackplate- you are right that Xpress hyperlift hulls like a lot of set back, NOT the HD hulls as there is no pad for them to ride on

OP would be best with a 4-6" manual JP to get motor height correct, not for set back. Set back changes the CG to LIFT the hull up further on pad.

OP, you need to get your hands on a yamaha pro series 19", i turn a 21" pro series and love it. lots of bow lift and 1-2 mph faster than my 19" worked trophy. also, find our 2 stroke's max rpms and that is what you want to shoot for with an average load in the boat. you adjust prop pitch and motor height to get to those rpms
