Looking for a prop, I've got a voodoo with a 60 hp OMC 100 block

Wondering what you guys think would work for my boat and if anyone has something I can try out or buy?

3 or 4 blade is fine, no preference. I would like to try them if at all possible

There is a lot of support from the T750 racers on this site.
The set up of your boat and the total weight....boat, motor and driver is most important in your prop selection.
Race props are COSTLY!
Based on other combos similar to yours . Here is what we have found.
Bone stock no race prep......51 to 53 mph......11 3/4 to 12 inch diameter......20 to 21 pitch
If the outfit is light........54 to 56 mph.............12 x 22 or 23 pitch
IF its heavy................44 to 48 mph..............11 1/2 x 18 pitch

The race guys will turn over 7000 rpm which shortens engine life......the lake runners will run more pitch and run 6300 to 6600 rpm.
The top speed is the same it just takes longer to get there with more pitch...racers want acceleration so they run less pitch.
If your boat is nose heavy and a lake runner you should try a chopper style prop.

EVERY BOAT IS DIFFERENT. THE PROP THAT WORKS ON A SIMILAR OUTFIT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS AND THE REVERSE CAN BE SAID AS WELL. TAKE YOUR TIME AND TRY EVERY PROP YOU CAN. THE PROP SELECTION WILL MADE THE BIGGEST CHANGE COMPARED TO ANYTHING ELSE.

There is the same VooDoo combo as your outfit on instagram

We have a similar combo to you as Don had mentioned. Center steer voodoo, 60hp omc , lighter weight set up etc. We have only been out once with a borrowed 22p Ron Hill cleaver. Boats mannerism was great, accelerated hard and recorded 53.8 on gps. And we have throttle stop on it as my son learns the boat.

We have a 21P four blade cleaver we want to try next.

Hope this helps you get a start!

Cheers

Mark
