Default 21 repower

Ah, the dreaded prop- are you saying that going to the larger diameter prop will reduce rpms? The reason I was considering re-propping is that I've been told by a marina service mgr. and some others that the no-name prop is inferior to the BRP REbel and because of the design of the blades on the BRP that prop will "grip" better thus reducing slip and increasing power- they did not seem to believe that by going from 14 1/2 inch diameter to 15 3/4 would reduce rpm since I'm keeping the same 15 pitch. Now if you guys are telling my otherwise, then reducing rpms is something I'm not wanting to do obviously. Opinions??
