1st...sure that's kts and not mph?...

2nd...what condition you trial in?...flat, no wind, no top, light load, 1/2 fuel tank, and no big fat nappy-headed hos?

3rd...motor trimmed out til she suckin' ducks (scary:o), but of course the rev-limiter won't let you blow your new motor

4th...assumin' all above, yer on the bottom of the mfgr's rpm range and I agree, that may not be best prop for fuel economy/cruisin' ... how's she do comin' outta the hole?...4 grand's a good cruisin' rev on lotta boats...what speed there?...
