Another " how fast " discussion

ts gotta be the prop and the prop is in good shape stainless, no dings or chips. Maybe not the pitch but the diameter. I wish I could rent a prop to get the right combination of diameter and pitch.

My local shop let me try one to make sure it was right, then as long as there was no damage to it he would exchange it till i got the right one. first i tried a 17 then i ended up with a 15. Use to be in the high 30,s full load with a 175.

Sea Ox does mid 30's now with a 200 HDPI its a heavy boat!
 
I think I'm going to try a 15 x 19 aluminum and if that fits the bill then buy the stainless. Hope to get in the mid 40's and more importantly get that RPM below 6100 while still maintaining some punchability.
