I would say you might be able to have the prop tweeked a bit with some cupping added to the tips and the trailing edge of the prop. What this will do is help the prop stay hooked up with the water, and the lowered RPM might be able to be offset by a higher motor setting. If you have not been able to trim up to optimum, you might be low on rpms as it sits now, so the extra cup might get you up there....my gut says, though that a move up of 1 hole after cupping would be close to ideal (again...not seeing the boat run...so tongue in cheek on this for the most part).
What prop did you find on ebay? would be interesting to hear brand and model as that can be a good indicator of what the prop is like and what could potentially be done with it.
