Default Adding Speed to a 42' Fountain

I have a 2004 42' Fountain with staggered 525's and in about a year I am looking for some things to do to add some MPH, any suggestions or ideas would be great. Also I am looking for anyone who has aftermarket props with the same boat, please post your result. Thank You

I was at the factory the day the boat was finished and went on the maiden voyage and hit 84, this was the end of March (cooler temp). I boat in Oklahoma and have been going 80, I put lab 4 blade Bravos on and have been 82. I feel with cooler temp I should be 85?
