I have a 1992 17" nitro with 1992 evinrude 115. Now it has a 19 pitch 13" 3 blade prop..It works great with boat loaded on the lite side ( me with fishing tackle).But with another person and full ice chest its slow getting on plane.My question is , if I drop down to a slower pitch what would be the best choice.

You wouldn't normally call going down in pitch 17" a slower pitch Speed results would depend on your present
wot rpm and gps speed.
