Yesterday I installed my new Viper 13-7/8" x 17 prop for my first trip out this year. With a full tank of gas (32 gal) I was able to reach 5400 RPM WOT and 39 MPH. That is not much different than what I achieved with the aluminum prop, however I like how the boat accelerates, handles and pops out of the hole much better. The only thing left to try is move engine up one more hole to its maximum position. I have the boat in the water for another 10 days. I will decide after that.
