two seperate problems going on here.ventilation is easily cured by lowering your motor 1-2 positions on your transom.once you can carve tight turns with out ventilating then you move on to matching your WOT rpm to prop pitch. its very easy to get the perfect prop if you know how to go about it correctly.

I don't think so. The BF30 has a 10 tooth spline, while the BF50 has a 13 tooth spline.
