First off what year model is your engine? Give us a model number if possible. Evinrude made a 30hp in a two and three cylinder version. It is important to run the engine in its upper RPM level at Wide Open Throttle, but that is with a typical load! That is where the rub comes in when you vary the load quite a bit in a boat of this type. One day you may have one person aboard and another you may have three. We need to know what pitch prop is on the boat now? At some point we are going to need to know what RPMs you are turning now? After that it would be possible to advise you on another prop choice. If the boat planes now, you may not be that far off, but sometimes better hole shot can be attained and improved fuel economy too.
