You might want to post in the prop shop (click here PROP SHOP ).  You might get more exposure to your question there  ;)

My tournament partner has the exact same boat. He has run a 175 merc. but is currently running a 150 merc.
When he had the 175 the best prop for the boat was a 25 pitch tempest and a 25 pitch yamaha (Yes it will fit a merc.)
He could see 67-68 if we were not loaded heavy.
Hope this helps

I would start with a 25 pitch Tempest or Fury and set the jack platew around 3.5 inches below pad.  You can fine tune from there.  I am running a 150 on my Sabre and can turn a 24 pitch Fury to 5800 rpms.  You should see some great speeds out of the 175.... Good luck
