Prop advice, 94 Yamaha 115

[keiperrc]

I have a 94 Yamaha 115 on a 18' center console, it will run close to 40, but WOT goes too high, up to 6,000. I currently have an aluminum 13 1/4 X 17 prop, I was thinking about going to a 13X19 or a 14X19. Right now it gets on plane very easily. Think this would be enough prop to get me in a better RPM range ? <br />Also, I was considering the Solas Amita aluminum, any experience with these, good or bad ? I don't know much about all the different brands of props out. <br /><br />thanks all

Going up 2" in pitch with the same style prop should get rpms down to around 5500, right where you want to be. <br />With speed approaching 40's I'd consider going for a steel prop, but a 19" SS prop might pull your rpms down a little too much. <br />Then there's mounting height etc to play with, i guess the prop/setup gurus will chime in and give their opinion...
