EJO -

The 15' Super Sport has a dry weight of ~580 lbs.
The Montauk 150 has a dry weight of ~950 lbs.

The higher speed of the 15' super sport is due to being 370 lbs lighter and 10 more horsepower than the Montauk 150.

The performance report of the Montauk 150 lists the exact performance you are obtaining, 35 mph @ 6000 rpm as shown in their report:

In your case increasing pitch will reduce your WOT rpm's and will most likely result in less speed.

If you are unhappy with the WOT performance, your choice is limited to increasing your horsepower.
