    prop change, speed stays the same?

    Ive got a 1652 MV lund with a 1985 merc 50horse. I went from a 11 1/4 10p prop to a 10 3/8 13p prop and speed never changed. I used to have a 1977 evin 25horse with a 9 1/4 11p prop and it ran the same speed as my 50 i now have-30mph. Does that make any sense?
