Not really a special thread on getting to 60. Just tried various setups and props with the bigger motor. It has a few more mph left in it but it is close to all it will do. Genie Aye has a killer combo that sips fuel.
My 250 EFI motor is on a 30" Stainless Marine bracket, motor is raised so the propshaft is 2" below the bottom of the boat. Any higher and the water pressure suffers. Spinning a 23 Tempest to 5800 rpm, lots of prop slip tells me there is more MPH to be had. However, if I load the boat with 4 guys loaded for fishing and a full load of fuel, livewell full my top speed is around 54 with the same prop only turning the motor 5500 rpm. Full T-top and big console.
