You may also want to try a larger diameter prop.

Smaller diameter props let the engine spin up faster, but only because of cavitation and slippage. Sometimes a larger diameter bites better, slows down the rpm and uses less fuel for a given speed. If it works, you'll fly out of the hole.

That's a lot of torque for an 18 footer - don't waste it.
