    Help with prop selection Suzuki DT225

    I finally got to run my boat and I hit 60 mph at 5400 rpms with a 24p stainless prop. My question is would I gain more speed by dropping to a 23p stainless prop and getting another 150 to 200 rpm bringing me to the top of the operating range of 5000 to 5600?
