I might be off hear but acording to the Octura prop chart it is a Y531 and a plastic prop. The X430 is a good little prop but it depands on the motor in the boat. Sorry I know little about your boats wish I could help more. I did not see another prop was there a third?

This pretty much explains it. I would stay with the X430 to start with.
