The older 350's like his are rated at 4000-4400 I believe as I know a lot of the old timers don't like to spin them faster than 3800-4000 when they prop them. So at 4000 WOT it isn't that bad, but there is room for improvement. Also verify your tachometer is correct before you go much further, but I would think a vessel of that size should do well with a 16 pitch large diameter.

the diameter will make very little difference on top end but MAY affect holeshot... I'd drop to a 15x16 or a 4 blade 15 pitch

I like the boat but you sure realize how big it is when you punch it, it takes about 5 min to hit full speed and when on plane and you turn it, it seems to have quite a lean. This boat is a cruiser and is nice running about 10 mph. Having said that, the urge to get up and go is to much for me. I am going to take your advice and see if I can get a better prop. 35-40 would put a smile on my face. ;-)
