gear ratio vs. prop pitch
 

At what point is prop pitch too large and you should be looking to change to lower numerical gearing?

On the other hand, lets say a boat runs a 1.36 gear w/ a 23- 25 pitch prop, should this boat be running 1.5 gears w/ a larger pitch prop?

I guess what I'm wondering is if there is a range of prop pitches that are considered to be the best as far as all around performance is considered? No bad tendencies (bad planing, poor midrange, doggy top end)
