There is no one answer to that question. I can tell you this that many including myself have had good luck with the "Turbo" props right out of the box. If I had to buy a prop with out testing it first I would go with the Turbo.

Now for the important stuff. What prop, RPM and speed are you running currently. Also what to you want to improve about the boat, top end ? low end ? ect

Sam speaks the truth. I am running Sam's former Turbo 1 in a 22 pitch on my 16. It's got the 5.0 mpi. Holeshot, top speed, handling are all well above any of the other 4 props I tried, although I'll admit, I did not try the Ballistic.

Save yourself the trouble and trials. Just order the Turbo, you won't regret it.
