I could only hit 47.2 coming in from tuna--of course--27 tuna and a tote of ice--a bit of extra weight for sure.
I am thinking of trying the 18" rebel--but I am getting great mpg and scared to switch.

Plenty fast. Dropping from 19" to 18" prop...........you'll pick up rpm, and less strain on the engine too. Might come out even on speed though with 1" less distance per revolution but higher rpm. Either way, you're rig is quick.
