charlesb,

You mentioned you are running the same boat. What are you getting top end speed? I am really interested.

You guys all bring up good points but again, I am still not sure if it is better to switch out the prop first or move the motor. I may just do both. I may get a different pitch prop, probably stainless steel and also get someone to help me move the motor. I would do it all on the same day. I will first try to switch out props test it. If I don't get what I want, bring the boat back to my warehouse move the motor up drop it back in the water and try both props. I can check for cavitation in turns, hole shot, and top speed at WOT, trimmed, at max RPM 5500. Unless someone has a better idea, Thanks Tom
