Scott,

The boat still has the 32 labs on it, with the drives at 4 and little tab I am just hitting 80 mph at 5200. When I bought it the said it ran around 90, I just can't seam to get it their. The engine have about 30 hrs since they were freshened. If you know any thing else that might help let me know.

Thanks Jim

I think the guys at OL recomming trimming out to 6-7 to better speed.... 4 seems like a pretty neutral trim.

I tried trimming more and did not see any difference in speed.

no 4 is the sweet spot.

Hey Scott , you forgot to tell him that when you had it, you had the timing set at 38 deg. and race fuel .... Tom
