trolling motor prop rpm?

Anyone know about what RPM a trolling motor spins it's prop at? Assume we're talking about your average 30-40 lb thrust minn kota job. I think the pitch is about 4", but I dunno how much slip, or what speeds are reasonable.

See efficient electric boats, should be around 1200rpm for 12V.
