I stopped by my dealer on the way through last week, and they didn't have any props, close enough to what I was looking for. I got out on the river again Thursday, and after getting my sending unit replaced for my trim gauge, so I could know for sure I was trimmed all the way out, I was able to get 53.2 mph with just me in the boat. That was trimming enough to get 5600 rpms. I did go to full trim quick to see, and it was 6000 rpms. Rest of the load was the same. There are a couple other places I am going to check for borrowing props. My engine is mounted in the 4th hole from top. I can go up 1 more and it would be up all the way. I'll let you know if I get a chance to try out other props.
