Default new prop for speed

I have a 1650 john boat with a 2002 60 hp Yamaha, and considering a new prop. currently I can run about 5500 rpm and have a top speed of ~35. Do any of you have recommendations on a faster prop. I would like to get the boat to around 45, and consider it doable based on the light weight of the boat. any advise would be much appreciated.
