1969 153 Futura with 1975 Evinrude 115 HP

I just bought a 1969 153 Futura with 1975 Evinrude 115 HP on it. What propeller should I use on this combination as it had no propeller on it at the time of purchase.

Welcome to the forum, we’d love to see some pictures.
Where are you located ?
Though it’s not exactly the same hull, we had that same motor on our GT 150, I ran a 20” Raker, and a 21” SST, both with good results, the top speed of around 50. When pulling skiers or tubers I ran a 17” SST, the thing would be on plane almost instantly.

As mentioned a Raker's a really good prop. Was my 2nd fastest on the 153.
