New Prop for out new Checkmate boat

I have a question about which prop I should get for the Checkmate when we are more interesting in pulling more weight behind the boat with water skiers, barefooters, and wakeboarders.

My current prop is a High Five 5-blade, #48-81576-21, 13.25" diameter x 21" pitch.

My boat engine is a 1996 135hp Mercury outboard engine.

We aren't as concerned about speed as we really only need to go at most about 40mph for any of those activities, and I wanted to ask the forum what everyone thinks would be the best kind of prop to get.

Thank you for any advice you can give me.
 
You've got the right prop for that application now. The only thing would be that maybe you need less pitch. You never posted RPM. A 19p would raise your RPM 300-400 which might be enough. but it is hard to know without more information.
