there are a few things to concider before you replace the prop....first off..what is your WOT..wide open throttle as required but the factory......or max rpm ....usually in the neighborhood of between 4200-4800 rpm...that is where you want to be on rpm..the second is for every inch in pitch change..your rpm will change by about 200 rpm.....so if your running a 15x19...at 4200 rpm...going to a 15-17 will change your rpm by about 400 rpm...or roughly about 3800 rpm..which takes you out of the torque range of the boat...changing to a 4 bladed prop may help ...or getting a bigeared prop will definitely help out too.....
