The prop calculator I use is showing about 200-250 rpm increase with the same slip.
That’s 8%. [emoji851]

Pretty much yep :D
I would be happy surfing at 3600rpm with a 16x13.9
Do you have the prop slip calculator?

Here you go, good to play around with.
I thought lower Pitch was supposed to produce lower RPM, and lower Top Speed.
I was just up at Tahoe with 3k of people and lead and running 3800 rpm at 11.4.
I would think the 16x15 would be sufficient. I run the 16x17 now and all 100% full ballast+ 500 lbs lead distributed evenly side to side + crew of 4-5 adults and I have not experienced any lag pulling a surfer. 400 engine. I thought it would be necessary to go down to 16x15 but have not been hurting for it. I do plan to get a second prop and it'll be 16x15 but frankly, not out of necessity. Just my 2 cents.
I just cant imagine what I'm gaining by moving down to a 13"pitch. Loose speed, increased RPM. Considering how my boat handles it now, I just don't see the payoff for what I'd be giving up.
