I have an 2014 S24 Bennigton with a F200 four stroke Yamaha with an existing Turbo 1 prop think 15" x ?pitch, I hit bottom and damaged the prop and need to replace.
what the best prop to get for a max performance?
 
With a 200 you should have a Stainless ,have you thought about getting it repaired?
 
With a 200HP, absolutely a SS prop for performance and efficiency. Personally, I would go an Enertia prop + hub combo based on my experience (and others) with the Enertia props. I have a 24’ SSBXP Bennington, SPS hull, 200 HP Mercury Verado Pro. So somewhat along the lines of your rig. Now my motor is a i6 with a Supercharger, so my sweetspot is a 15-16p Enertia prop. For you with an i4 f200 Yamaha, probably a 14-15p.

If not the Enertia prop, then a SWSII prop based on some other forum members experiences with that. Those two, the Enertia and SWSII seem to be the best performers on these high HP Tritoons.

I have the same setup and recently hit something that bent a prop blade. 9 days off the water and a $250 repair and were back on the water. Mine is 14.25 x 15° Turbo 1 SS Prop. I did some research on a possible replacement, if needed, using the Yamaha Prop Selector chart and it took me back to the prop that I have. $250 vs $437 was a deciding factor, as well.
 
You could also go aluminum at a quarter of the price of stainless steel prop. Unless your demands are high…it will do just fine for all around boating.
 
Enertia is a great prop. I prefer the Reliance since engine is Yamaha. In my mind, I don't think it matters, but I can just see when trying to trouble shoot something down the road, some ass clown mechanic claiming "You've got a Mercury prop on this, you need to run a Yamaha prop".
Life's too short for that needless frustration.

Unless you extremely performance oriented, that is a true statement.
See Yamaha's 6G5 or 6K1 series props
