What prop are you using now and what is you WOT rpm? Looks like your right at 41 knots.
I got lot's of different numbers based on tide direction and wind. It's so hard to find a clean place to run without variables that affect what your trying to find a baseline for. The lowest fuel burn at an average cruising speed is going to be the best indicator for propping. Top speed is a dragon everyone seems to chase but in reality the best mpg with an average loading is what needs to be nailed down.
