Good set-up but unless your WOT all of the time, I'd swap the prop.
My guess is you'll hit around 40mph once the pointy end comes down. Cruise about 28 at 4200 getting about 3 mpg. Your rpm is right on, but me thinks the Ballistic is not the best prop for your rig. I believe efficiency and planing will be compromised under 20mph. That prop is designed to lift the bow, and run fast by reducing drag at the blade tips. Like most CCs you're going to want a prop that offers some stern lift to get on plane quickly, while having enough blade area to plane at lower speeds when the going gets rough.

Thanks for the input MG. I want to get another prop but unfortunately I don't have the luxury or access to try several props before I find the right one. I inquired about the right prop for my set up before and these are a few recommendations that I got. Solas Titan 13x17 semi cleaver, Quicksilver Trophy 13 1/4 x 15 or 13 x 16 (rare) , Black Max and Black Diamond in the same size of the trophy. I have yet to make a choice, what do you recommend ?
At 60 years I'm not exactly a speed demon so I don't mind loosing some top end for better efficiency and to get on plane quicker and at slower speed in the slop.
