26 Bravo or Mach sir. You are also missing out on power. What heads and cam do you have? That seems very mild for a 540.

Bob Madera set up my engine. was 502 mag carb. .30 over now 509. heads have rough edges removed and gasket matched. custom cam by bob. dart single plane. 9.3:1 comp bob je pistons, isky and all the good stuff. with a holley 800 on top. she is strong. bob said my peak power is 5600rpm and that is where i run it and that is what she does. smooth water she runs 71 72. rough like 1 foot chop or a little more 73 74. have barely tripped 75 once on gps and it went 75.1 and then back down after a bit to 74.8. She does very well! and the bravo prop is ok... has a hard time carrying the bow though. like the mirage better.

I have a 23P 4 blade and a stock 330 hp 454. The fastest i've seen is 64mph (according to the GPS on my phone) at 4600 rpm with about 1/4 tank of gas and just me in it.

LOL, um the pics show otherwise. and where were u at? must have missed you. next time where some stilts so you can keep your head above water.
from hearing everyone elses response im thinking i either need to have the prop checked again, check the tuning on the motor. OR and i need to check my trimming. Ill be honest this is my first boat running like that. so i guess it is possible im not trimming the motor correctly for top speed. thanks for all the replies for sure.
