08 - 33T w/Trip Verado 300s

I am trying to fiqure out which wheels are best for this boat, it came from the factory with 21" three blades on the out sides and a 25" three blade on the center motor.

I am not too worried about top speed, I just want to get a decent GPM at cruise w/a full load.

any good input will be appreciated.

What are your current issues?

I had experience with a 33T with trip 300s and 22 Bravos performed very well even wth full livewells and fuel, I believe 65 was the top end number with efficient cruising in the upper 40s. Make sure the outside motors are mounted as high as possible, a 25 in the center seems a bit odd, a 23 I could see, but not a 25.

Agree with sundance's comment on the center prop. Never seen a middle one with more than 2" difference in pitch.
