I've never had the time and money to try different prop setups but I run 27P Mirage 3 blades at around 5100. Low to mid 70's.

Mirage Plus 29 3blades 3/4 tanks of fuel 86 at 5000 hoping to hit 90 with light fuel Running a pair of 575s with xr drives,the 3 blades give great bow lift,alot of people use 4 blades to help get on plane quicker.

Drives are 1.50, lots of bow lift,4 blades would make getting on plane better,what rpms are you turning with the 22s?

I would try a set 29 3 blade, or 28 4 blades,get a base line and go from there.Those props should bring your rps down to what your looking for.Its all trial and error. P.S.Does your hull have a keel pad? or straight bottom?
