what prop to run on a 220 vision with 350 magnum ?

[yamanator]

Hi guy's, (and gal's) I am new to this board because I just bought my 1st Checkmate. My buddy told me about this site so here I am. I need to know what prop is going to get me the best top end out of my Vision 220 ? I just picked the boat up last week and ran it for the 1st time on saturday, It has a 5 blade prop on it now and it was running at 57(speedo)mph at 5000 rpm.
I spoke with checkmate and they tell me the engine has 240 HP and with a 3 blade prop it should run 62 to 63 all day long. Is this true ?
Also what other performance things can I do ?
Thanks for all the help in advance.

The 5 blade is for sking,NOT top speed.A 21 or 22 pitch 3 blade prop would probably work well as a starting point.

Yamanator,
I had the same boat and best all around prop I found was A 22 pitch by 14.250 inch turbo with A 270hp 350mag.It ran about 62-64 mph
