I'll try to check when I get home to confirm the prop size, I think it's etched on the prop where I can see it. Haven't decided what to do about it if anything, but ideally I'd want to be hitting right at 6200 with a light load. Whether it'd be worth replacing the prop again or having it re-pitched or adjusted, I just don't know. Probably not.
400 RPM. I was told the "rule of thumb" was 200 RPM per inch of pitch, so I went to a 21, but then it would only hit 5800 or so. Went back to the 20 and got where I am now. The guy I was working with said "these things aren't exact" and said I probably should have stuck with the 19 and just added some cup to it. Oh well. here
For what it's worth, when I bought the boat it had terrible hole shot and would easily over-rev. Turns out it was a 13x19. here

Hi there and welcome to the forum! more
You should truly aim to get around 6000rpm at WOT, trimmed out. Even a bit more than that with a light load. These engine love to rev, and indeed, the perform best when they are allowed to rev. here
You need to get from the current 5500 up to 6000rpm, so you will want to go to at least an 18" pitch rather than to a 19". (By the way, I am not surprised at all that the 20" prop is too big for your boat/motor - I run a Suzuki SS 3 x 14 x 20 on my DF115 on my 17 1/2 foot boat and pull 6200. It's a popular prop on the 115/140's on many boats around the 17-18ft length, so on your 20 ft boat. )
Of course I know Suzuki does not make a 14x19 stainless prop, but would probably opt for the Powertech LNR3, which is what I have now in the 14x20. more
