Moved the trim rod out. got just barely a 32 out of the 15" prop..could keep a 31.8 pretty good. For the heck of it I threw the 17" prop on..33.5. Oly problem I had with it was I trimmed it out a little too far and the prop seemedto slip(cavitate??, like it got a air pocket), adjusted the trim quickly and it went away. The 15 got on plae way quicker, but the 17 seemed smoother despite the blades having some nicks..(nothing big, just bare aluminum on the edge of the blades and some burr's on the edges).. Never got what I thought to be the slipping on the 15.. Niether had any ride problems at speed. Moving the trim rod improved the overall ride of the boat with either prop.
