Re: 43 mph on the river today
Yep wiseguy, I have the same setup and get to 41 mph top speed. You definately have a prop issue. What rpm's are you getting at WOT?

Re: 43 mph on the river today
OK- I'm on a new mission then!
Lake Erie can be a rough ridin piece of water. Next time I get some flat water, I'm going to come up with some numbers and figure out what needs to be done with a little brain help from you guys. Not that I need to go that fast, but nice to know it's in there and running efficiently. I'll report back. What prop are you using Mr. Knot?

Mr Knot...took me a minute ::) ... "running efficiently" rather than runnin' top speed is what it's all about w/props ... at least for me anyway ... do ya know the max RPMs recommended by the mfgr? ... I'd be lookin' to have the CAPABILITY of gettin' MOST of that from a given prop and then find a comfortable cruise w/it (should be around 2/3 to 3/4 of max) ...

Re: 43 mph on the river today
OK - Got the Merc book out. Mine is the Merc 898 200hp 305cu (chevy block, I guess) (5.0L?).
It says 650-700 idle and 3800-4200 WOT. Next time I get out, I'll see what I can get out of her on the GPS. I don't remember what I did last last year (or 5 minutes ago!) but I think low 30s. I think at 2500 I'm running 21-22. I have no idea what size prop is on it ???- I'm still trying to find the brakes!
