[QUOTE="fwman1, post: 490074, member: 31515"] GYPSY400, You pretty much called it. I purchased a SOLAS 5011-078-07 Amita 3 Aluminum 3-Blade Propeller. This seven inch pitch is the next pitch down, but not a Tohatsu brand prop, obviously. I took the boat out after swapping the prop, and maximum RPMs went from 5400 to 6000. It appears the engine has an built in rev limiter, as RPMs pegged at 6000. Speed is up to 13.5 - 13.8 MPH. The boat now has a more linear response to throttle, utilizing the full throttle range. Previously, once you hit about 80% throttle, there really was not much change in the speed, or RPM. [/QUOTE]
