Default Vengeance prop for the Seafari?

How will a Merc Vengeance prop perform on my Seafari/Merc 115 I-6 combo. Does it give adequate stern lift? How about an aluminum Black Max?

Vengeance is more of a bow-lifting prop, good, but better suited for lighter weight boats. WOT and near WOT performance will be ok, but cruise performance/economy and acceleration will suffer a bit.

Thanks Fr. Frank. I just saw one for sale and the price was about $150 NIB so I started reaching for the credit card...

Cruise and fuel economy offshore are most important to me so I'll keep looking I suspect I'll get better fuel economy with a stainless so I'm leaning that way.

I think you mentioned the PowerTech MQF series. Any others come to mind? Thanks again.
