23 w/225 four stroke - Prop issue

[schooner]

Otto,
Thanks for the reply. Do you mean 2 inches "less" of pitch or 17" to get the revs up...? More pitch would mean less revs I think. I do see 21 inches on the Suzuki on some performance tests on 22-24 foot boats. Wondering why the Seacraft does not want the 21 pitch. Don't think that the SeaCraft is extraordinarily heavy or has a radical deadrise. I am stumped.
