Hi all......I have a 2004 Rinker 232 captiva cuddy with the 350 mag.....bought it used beginning of this season and wondering if it has the correct prop on it. It currently has a 26P bravo III. Top speed with 2 people and a half tank of gas is barely 40 mph at roughly 4600 RPM......this seems low to me....have been told by local marina to try a 22P.....any thoughts??? Thanks in advance

Depending on your load, the water conditions and humidity at the time - I am assuming that altitude above sea level is not an issue in your case - then yes, you are not operating in your WOT band for a 350 mag and you are going, IMO, too slow for a 232 with a healthy 350 Mag.
Every 1" change of a propeller (rake, cupping and diameter remaining constant) will alter your rpm by 200. Less increases, more decreases.
