Once more: Until you have addressed the above items exactly and correctly, you're honestly just trying to swat flies in the dark (with a bamboo stick).
Once those items are confirmed properly- THEN you can proceed to make adjustments to your setup to optimize your performance.
Hate to harp on something, but the above are just THAT important.

From experience with a new 175 ProXS, have the throttle checked. After the dealer put my engine on it wasn’t running right and I made them put it on the computer to check and it was at 88%. That 12% got me 6MPH. I am running a 23 Fury on an 18 foot Bumblebee. I bet it’s similar.
I had the motor checked today and it’s in fact going to 100%.
Im considering a 22 tempest or 23 trophy small barrel. Any recommendations?
I would recommend you stick with the Tempest or Fury lines. Heading into the warmer months you might even be able to run a 21P, based on your originally-stated RPM's (though 22P would probably get you closer to a "single-year-round prop").

Hydroplane What do you mean by throttle was @ 88% on the computer?? I recently purchased a 2020 Mercury 175 Pro XS and feel like the motor is not reach WOT. I been trying to look for help and figure out the issue thanks.
I think he meant 88% of full throttle, not 100% as it should be which is hindering performance.

What the OP meant was that his engine was not reaching 100% Demand Linear (as verified with the G3 Diagnostic System). This is VERY common when a hotfoot is used, and EXTREMELY common when the hotfoot used is more than a couple years old.
