I spoke with Ken Reeves at PropGods.com and he reviewed my performance numbers. His recommendation is to stick with the Mercury Black Max / Quicksilver Black Diamond switch to the 10.375 x 13 pitch from my current 10.125 x 15 pitch. He feels that the 2" reduction in pitch will allow the motor to achieve plane more easily and the slightly larger diameter will keep the RPMs within range. Hoping to receive the propeller by this weekend and will report back on results once I've had it out to test. Thank you again!
