We are looking for feedback information on the best after market prop for surfing with our Malibu.  We had a 13.5 x 14 and need to replace.  Recommendations and places to purchase?  We are in Canada.  Thanks

What elevation and how much ballast?  We went from a 1235 (14.5 x 14.25) to a 2419 (15 x 12.) Huge improvement for surf at 3000 ft elevation.  We slam with ballast.  Including simulated wedge weight, we are over 4k lbs.  Rpms went up about 200 at 11 mph and top end dropped about 3 to 4 mph to 37mph at WOT 5000 rpm.  Motor is the LCR 5.7.
