Default Propeller & Pitch Question HELP!

Hello,

I have a 2003 rinker 282 captiva bowrider with a 6.2 mpi motor with a bravo 3 outdrive 2.2 gear ratio. The boat weights about 8000 with people and gear on board. At the moment we have a duo propeller with 26 pitch. With the throttle wide open we are only getting the motor up to 4100 rmp. Ive been told the motor is capable and safe to run up to 5100 to 5200 rmp. Does any one have an idea of what pitch prop i need to install to gain the extra rmp ?

1" of pitch generally equals about 200rpms.
