Default what prop moves more water

This is based on the fact that the motor will have no problem spinning any of them and doing it at 33,900rpm so what prop will rocket this little boat the fastest all opinions are welcomed

Default RE: what prop moves more water

Moving more water means increasing thrust. Picture a huge prop rotating at 100RPM. There will be tons of water being pushed but pitch speeds will be extremely low.

If you are looking at speed you have to consider pitch speed. Pitch speed is determined by the RPM under load and the pitch of the prop. A higher pitched prop will move the water faster than a lower pitched prop. High RPM, high pitched props usually do not have high thrust meaning they don't move a lot of water.

The theoretical fastest prop will be the one that has the highest pitch and least resistance in the water.
