Default prop selection

It has been six years since I have been into fast electric boats so i am a little rusty. I bought my son the aquacraft Motley Crew cat. The boat has the stock 6 pole 1800 kv brushless motor with a 60 amp speed controller, and Idon't plan to let him exceed 4s. The boat is also running with the cheap plastic 42 mm prop, which brings me to my question. I want more performance out of this boat with the current motor and speed controller, and am looking for the right three bladed prop that will fit the 3/16" .150 flex shaft, I will need the prop balanced and sharpened as I will make no attempt to do this myself. I just do not know what size or pitch would give my son the best performance. Also, if anyone knows of a solid dealer for these props any info. is greatly appreciated. If anyone on this forum has anything for sale that fits this bill, let me know.

Thanks for the help,
Brian
