I used to run that prop on my 20 MA. Now I run the 15" pitch version since July 2012. WAY Better holeshot and a smidge faster. I keep the 17 as a spare. Sounds like your F100 is stronger than mine, or the boat has better trim. I only pull 34MPH at 6000, or 55-5600, with the 15" or 17" pitch prop. (and the draggy HydroShield)
Fr. Frank called the F100 the YamaDog. He was right. It has no low end torque, so the 15" pitch prop is a lot nicer. It doesn't bog like it did with the 17"
But it sounds like you have a steering issue?
