If you want to run a motor at a set RPM at WOT and your current prop achieves this goal at 3/4 throttle what should you next move be? Will moving up a pitch (say 24 to 26) get you closer to your goal?

27 excalibur with notched transom, bravo 1 ratio 1.5 with propshaft 4'' from keel, carbed 509 with approx. 525 hp, Bravo 24 4 blade 5200rpm at 3/4 throttle.

I'll bet a 26p Bravo/1 will just about get you there.
A 28p might be a bit too much load on the engine.
Get yourself close, then consider labbing for the fine tuning.
Julie & ThrottleUp has a prop testing program and probably accepts trades.
PS: I'm assuming you don't want to exceed 5500-5800rpm.
