I have a Nitro Bass boat with a 125hp Merc. Thats the max HP for the boat. I had a similar problem. I was running a 3 blade Laser prop. I switched to a 4 blade Trophy plus and it help a lot. Also when I trim the boat on plane it will eliminate the pull. I have been told hydraulic steering helps to but have not done that yet. You have a trim tab located above the prop. That may need to be adjusted. I removed mine on advice from a prop tech shop in the midwest. Search the web because it is a very common problem with lots of boaters. I lost a few MPH when I changed props but gained a lot of handling and improved holeshot. I was doing a few over 60mph but now in the mid 50's but a way better handling ride. I also added a kinda fin that directs the water flow away from the shaft.

This is a torque tab from Bass Pro Shops. It helped as well. Good luck and search the web. It is more common than you realize.
