guys ..I bought this boat a couple of months ago .. Great boat ..had a few fuel issues at first but got them sorted out and enjoying the heck out of it . The 140 is a little weak .. Takes a while to get to 30 and that's top end ..But runs great

[Tunnaman88]

glad you are enjoying it! But, damn it!! Great deal!!!

You must have the wrong prop, do you know what it is? Mine goes 40 mph and cruises at 30 easily.

maybe motor mounted too low?

you should bang right up on plane cruise at 30 mph @ 5000rpm. Trimming up should top out around 5800 rpm and just under 40mph

I have 14 x 20 SS prop.

I always thought a 14x20 would be the best prop, I had a 14x19 and a 14x21, I used the 21p most of the time because it brought down the rpms a little, but with the 21p prop my top speed was 38-39, I got 40 with the 19p.

My prop is 15x21 ..What would be the benefit of the bigger slower prop ? I think i'm going to go by the prop shop tomorrow . The top end at 30 hasn't really bothered me though ..it seems like im in a no wake zone more than not . but it would be nice to get a little more speed

I would try a 14x19 or 14x20, the 15 inch prop is too much for the 140 to turn on this size boat.

Its not as much a question of more speed, its that you are putting a lot of strain on your motor and it will wear out much quicker, or just fail.
