 Aren't we/you getting hung up on ideal, and efficient, and perfect..... All Bill needs is a big enough outboard to push AB along at a better speed than he currently gets with the 20HP Honda. It doesn't matter a tinkers cuss whether the prop is the right one or not. The motor will still throw a s..t load of water behind it which will push AB along. As you Americans are so keen to say nothing beats horsepower, the more the better.... :) An AA fueler dragster has more prop slip (wheelspin) than you ever imagined but still manges to reach 250m/h in 4 or 5 seconds or so......


Regards 

Tim

And yet there is a fairly appropriate, mature market segment--using largish outboards to push big houseboats around. A good engine manufacturer rep (not your local salesman) might be able to specify a motor/prop combination optimized for the conditions you need.
