Paul, I am intentionally a bit underpropped, as I am in the ocean and almost never get a chance to run fast and light. I therefore run out of RPMs before I run out of power and trim - I hit between 41 and 42 MPH at 6400 RPM, with 25% trim. The great thing with my current prop (Power Tech SCD3, size 13 x 16) is that I can hit 40 with little to no trim, which is important when things are bouncy and you're looking to keep the 15 from going into orbit.
Some day I'd like to try a higher pitched prop, just to see what it could do, but in day to day use this one is fine.
