    Should I change prop pitch/ go to stainless.

    With the 19, mine was turning 5500 and the speedo was reading about 49-50mph. The I6 115 used 2:1 from 72 on. In 71 it had 25:14 ratio according to the Brochure(could be a Typo though)

    I really don't see the purpose of adding a Jackplate on a small V Hull, but it is your choice. Raising the Engine often reduces Chine Walking. I am assuming you have the inline 6 115.

    22' pontoon prop question.

    If you are hitting the Rev Limiter, you definitely need more Pitch. If you are experiencing loss of Bite, as you trim up, your engine might be too high for the Prop you are running. A Prop with more Cup might be be better suited as they tend to grip the water better. Getting pic over the Transom...
