I couldn't turn more than 4600 rpm's with what's on it.
Yeah thats way too low....those motors can rev to 6,300 rpm. My guess your will need a 13.5 -13 pitch 3 blade. It's a tunnel hull right? If so the powertech SWW would be a good choice. Get the right prop on it ASAP running a prop the motor wont turn to peak rpm can do damage. Even more so because you are still in break in. http://www.ptprop.com/index.php?page...mart&Itemid=46
