wot rpm's for mercruiser 165

Does anyone know the WOT RPM's recommended for 165 hp Mercruiser. It is a 1971 straight 6 (gm 250 cid?) Seem to get a range of 4-5000. I am fixing to reprop and would like to get a good hole shot for skiers. Currently I run WOT at 4200RPM; 32mph; 14.75 x17

thanks,
chuck
