[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 437433, member: 21552"] I think the rough rule is you gain 200 rpm for each inch of pitch (I may be very wrong). You need to increase your RPM to the max recommended for the outboard which I think is 5,500 with a light load. As you add a fishing buddy your RPM will drop and that's OK. 24 MPH sounds about right and I doubt you'll get much more no matter which prop you go to, if you hit 26 be happy, unless you are willing to drop the weight for another 1-2 MPH.
