Well probably not??? You should try some different props with your engine max rpm in the 4600-5000 rpm range.
I tried a number of props on my boat last Summer.
My boat went faster with a 26p spinning slower than a 24p faster. I am assuming that the engine went past it's peak power with the 24p.

Do You have a 24' Pantera?
Talk to Jo at Pantera.
He'll likely tell you to start with a 25p Mirage plus or a 26p Bravo one.
You should run about 73mph in fresh water and about 75mph in salt.
Good Luck!
