Propeller pitch ?

Hi Guys, I have a prop ?
I have a 17.75 foot Rhino Jet boat (w/ no jet on it) that is set up to fish small reservoirs. Up to now I had no gas motor, just trolling in front and back.
I recently bought a 1993 2 stroke Mariner 9.9 to use on some of the larger lakes I fish that allow 10 hp motors.
My gps says I'm going abot 7.8 mph..which I don't think is bad for the size and weight of my boat all loaded. That said curious about speed..
Would a different prop make alot of difference? It currently has a 9.25" diameter with a 9 pitch 3 bladed prop on it.. any recommendations?
Thanks, Sam
