PGH hit it right with what he said.
This may or may not help. I had a 9.9 mer on my 14 foot aluminum boat, it has side console, floor... with a 9 pitch it did 8-9 mph, with a 7 pitch it did 8-9 mph with a 11 pitch it did 8-9mph. What i was facing was a motor that was not able to plane out this boat. And no matter what i did it would never achive what i wanted so i bought a motor that would. Now it is all smiles
Unless the motor can plane out your craft changing pitch (in my experences with lower hp motors)it not going to do much in terms of speed.
