Freestyle What prop to use??

Long story short I am looking for opinions on what prop I should be running. I ride only flat water and no surf. My current setup is as follows:

BOB Gen 2
Dasa SS 850 powervalve
Dual 48 mm Riva powerbombs
VF2 reeds
B Pipe
Stock ignition with MSD enhancer
12 vein 144 mm Mag pump
XFT trim

The pump came from my freestyle setup RN which I have used for the last 4 years. Not sure what prop is in there now but I am curious to see what you think should be in it for best performance. I have seen a ton of different props out there and don't even know where to start!

Im running a Hooker 10/16. 701 race ported, piped, 195 psi, modified 38s, reed stuffers and spacer, worx intake, tbm plate.
10/16 is max for my my setup.
 
I'm running a Factory Pipe setup with the limited chamber. The ski felt weak on bottom end initially. I had to raised the compression to make it hit hard. I also closed the pipe down with top open 1/2.

I would try a 10/16 hooker for flatwater. If riding surf then an 11/17 hooker may be smoother. The limited pipe signs off early, so on my ski I found a steeper prop like the 10/16 works well with the PV motor. IMHO

Agreed on the 10/16, but don't be afraid to try a 9/15 and play with cone size or exit nozzle bore. I had a time figuring out props for my SS Dasa 850. Those engines need to be spooled up to hit and pop the PV's. You can run the higher pitch but you'll need to keep the RPM's up to make it hit. The lower pitch allows it to get there quicker. Should be a nice package when u get it dialed.

So far it seems as if the hooker 10/16 is a good starting point. First thing first though..... I should really pull the prop now and see what's actually in there.

Keep it coming though. It's nice to hear everyone's opinions of what works and what doesn't.
