    Help with a High 5 prop

    I have a 25 pitch High 5 on my 201 Stratos w/ a OX66 250 HP Yamaha. I was wondering what I could have done to it to give me some more top end speed. Right now I hitting about 60 mph at 6000 RPM and have a lot of throttle left. I really like the hole shot and lift that this prop has (perfect for smaller lakes and short runs) Besides having it repitched to a 26 is there anything else that can be done? Adding cup etc.?

    Not a lot you can do. They are very good props for what they were designed to do,but top end is not one of them. If you have the throttle left,you can get one in a higher pitch. That will give you more speed.

    More cup would make it bite harder and probably cost you rpm's and speed.

    So pretty much all that can be done is take it up 1 pitch, which will lower my rpm's 200 and maybe give me 1 or 2 mph?
    Not sure that's worth spending $200+ plus shipping t do :(
