WOT RPM for 1998 75HP Force

[bobbycaty]

Does anyone know what is the WOT RPM for a 1998 75HP Force? I just brought a 1999 Sea Hunt with this engine and obtain WOT 4200RPM and top speed is 23mph, a little slow from what I was told. The mechanic recommended changing propellar from 10.5X17 to10.5x15. Will I be able to obtain the optimum WOT RPM going down 2 pitch that will raise my WOT about 400-500 RPM?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Drop her down to a 10.5 x 12, and get those rpm up above 5000.
