You would be better off with a 22-23. 26 is way to much for that set up. It will improve your hole shot for sure.
That motor should be turning 4750-5250 RPMs at WOT (wide open throttle). A 4 bladed prop will give you a better hole shot.

I know this is an old post but I have the exact same boat/ motor with the exact same problem. What did you end up getting for a prop & how did it work for you? My Nitro came from the factory with the Laser SS 26p that's on it now.
If this problem just started I would check the plug in the prop, I know it sounds silly but it sure made a difference on my buddies triton
It's never been terrific outta the hole since it was new but tolarable. I was alot lighter than & usually just my young son and sometimes by wife on smooth water. Now I'm finally fishing alot more, 3 large guys, full fuel tank, cooler full of adult beverages and it takes forever to get out of the water and I usually drain the well first. Throw in rough seas and your really screwed.
call power tech props, answer thier questions. They hook you up. You will need oknow what Mercury recommends for Max Wide Open Throttle rpm.
I have a 13-1/2 x 23p stainless steel up for sale if you’re interested
