This weekend I was cruising at 3500 - 4000 at 30 mph.... I did have 7 passengers and full tank of gas with the throttle wide open I was running 5200-5300 RPMs at 38mph again with 7 passengers. I want to run it with just me and 1 passenger.... How bout you????

That motor is on my Cruisers Inc 22 footer. I have a Michigan Wheel 19p Stainless prop on her and if my GPS can be believed she does 52-54 on the Hackensack River @ 5400 WOT with just me in the boat. My V20 has a Johnson 200 on it.
