what is best pitch prop for me?

[milo8]

I have a 232 Baja with a 454, bravo one drive, i am currently running a 21 pitch merc stainless prop. Wide open at 5200 rpm, right around 59 mph would like to get more speed. Open for suggestions.

5200 is too high for your engine. Try a 23 pitch three blade prop. it should lower the WOT RPM, but increase the top speed, a little. Good luck.

If I had the manufacturers WOT recommended RPM range and the lower gear ratio, I could be of more help.
