Oh boy...not another prop ?
87 V20, 2000 Johnson 150 Ocean Runner running Solas 15 x 15 alum. Engine was decarbed this spring. Plugs are new.
With just me, full fuel, usual boat/fishing gear (not 'lightly" loaded) I can only get 5k at wot.
Boat cruises 28 mph at 4k burning 8-9 gph.
Tach was verified with timing light. She jumps right up on plane quick. Cruises very nice at 4k with full load (4-5 People).
I'm a fisherman, not a racer, and I am happy with this performance...but shouldn't I be seeing more than 5k with this prop?
I don't want to be lugging engine.
Thoughts?
Tx, Bill
