By the way 365hp and the 420hp - has square port heads with Alium. Manifolds. If someone had switched motors and put the Alium. manifold on the peanut heads, your boat wouldn't run for ***

Salt faster than fresh? Guess you don't have tides then...I lose sometimes 5 miles an hour in tidal waters even in slack tide...the post's a year old...wonder how he made out?

That setup will never turn a 25 plus thats basically a 27 p prop. Try a set of 25 mirage non plus and start from there.

My 311 with mags will turn a 25 pitch Mirage (not Plus) 4900 rpm and 68 Gps. Motors are stock except for Gil manifolds. Speeds are in salt water with slight chop.
