You don't have to buy a new prop as your existing prop can be re-pitched by a prop shop. They just put it in a fixture and bend it to the new pitch.

The issue as others have pointed out is getting it signed off. I don't see how you could make the max TCDS specified static thrust RPM limits with a repitched prop. It will likely be too course to make the necessary revs.
