I have a 1985 SeaSwirl, Sierra, bowrider, 3.8 V-6, the propeller that came on the boat when I got it is 15" pitch, I can't run full throttle because the RPM is way into the red at around 5600, the owners manual says full throttle the RPM should be 4200 to 4600. Props are expensive to play around with and I'm not real sure what I should try, I have read that a 2" pitch increase will drop the RPM 300 to 400 RPM so I'm thinking I should try 21" or 22". Does this sound reasonable?
