whats the redline on the engine? 5k?

Can you get a 4 blade 14x12 or 14x13? they seem to help with getting on a plane..

and where are you located? any prop shops around that can do cupping mods?

Im bringing it in to the dealer for break in service today. So he will work with me. Didnt look at whats max rpm and i think its a 3 prop on there now. It did plane up but it should be alittle more speed im sure.

Yamaha's web site says 5300-6300 rpm. Sounds like you need to go down an inch or two in pitch, but do work with the dealer on that. They may be willing to lend you a prop or two to try before buying.
