16'6" Enticer help

I haven't been on here in a while. I had a restoration thread a couple years ago that I haven't updated. Long story short, the boat is solid, and I've been running the hell out of it for a few years with a DT140 Suzuki that finally blew up a couple months ago. I now have a mildly modified Mercury 2.4 200 with a 24 pitch Powertech 4 blade prop that runs right at 70mph at 6100 rpm. I feel like there is more in it. I have 6" of setback with a hydraulic jackplate with the motor 1" below the pad. Plenty of water pressure. The top three holes are blocked off. I'm running this prop just because I already had it. Is there a thrhee blade to look for that might get me some top end? Thanks, Scott.
 
My Enticer liked a 24P laser II. But I'd bet you could turn a 26P without a problem. Think safety first though; is you transom and steering capable of the increased stress of 200hp?
 
That combo should spin a 26 to 28 to the redline of that motor no problem. Illmattic had a predictor (same hull) with a 200 that was running 78 with a 26p laser 2.
 
I've got a 2.4 200hp on my predictor now, 4" of setback, propshaft even with the bottom, coned lower with lwp, running 80mph GPS spinning a 27 trophy.
