Second prop size opinion?

Looking for a second opinion about what prop size I need. Moved my Yamaha 60 from my previous center console boat to a 20' Bass Buggy. Finially got the heighth just about right and now I want to get the rpms back to where they belong. The current prop is a 10 1/4x14 and only giving about 4400 max rpms and I need to get it back to around 5700. Guy at the local shop reccomends a 11x11 prop and I've been told I need a 12x9 at another. Anyone have a similar setup or have an opinion?

My 60 4 stroke on a 20 harris was about right with a 13.5 x 11.
I had an 11x9 with a 40 2s

my 60hp 4 stroke Yammy had a 14 x 11 and it was great.

Turning Point reccomended the 9" pitch, but they estimated my weight at almost 2000 pounds. Since I've stripped down the boat to make room for my Great Danes the 11" pitch sounds like the way to go. Thanks folks.
