No real difference between the mfrs if you are just looking for an aluminum replacement prop. Some of the members who have the 4 banger use 17" pitch props and some use 19" pitch props. Either size will work depending on what you want the boat for (ie cruising vs skiing/tubing/wakeboarding). What size prop is on your boat now? Prop size will be stamped on the inside of the prop hub.

I've got an 18P 4 blade Stilleto if you are interested. $200 and it's yours.

That one will work on your boat also and its a SS prop. Shipping to the UK might be a little pricey though... :(

An 18" - 4 blade will work for what you want. The 4 blade provides just a little extra grip which gives a little more control and a little extra jump 'out of the hole' while towing tubes/people etc
