mines also a 81 so its not making 200 at the prop, boat also has bottom paint
I agree with Ridge and BGreen. Light boat, just me I turn 6300 WOT, she likes it, I don't keep it there long. At 6300 I am around 53-55 mph. I load her down and she still turns around 6K WOT. You should see better top end. Try some different props
