Default prop fitting hell.


Here's all the info (for those not following along)

200hp v8 motor
outdrive
From factory with 19pitch prop
Engine RPM ideal range: 4200-4400

Had a 20 pitch 4 blade -- but reved too high.

Went to the local prop store -- they gave me a 23 pitch 3 blade.

Lots faster (on the range of 10 mph faster)

However, no has problems getting up to 4000 rpm, more like 3800

Based on that extreme jump; would a 21 pitch do me better? I don't want to keep
exchanging props (not to mention the expense of it -- ferry tickets and all) and
would like to start "using" the boat...

Thanks
-josh
