Hi everyone im new to boating and I just purchased my first boat. Its a 1985 220 sport Baja with the 260 hp 350 v8 mercruiser with a gen 1 alpha 1 sterndrive. What should I expect for speed with low weight in the boat? According to the original speedo im only running 40 at 4500 wot that seems low. I have a 19p merc mirage stainless prop installed.
Damn I loved the ride of that boat. I felt fearless at the wheel. Wife hated it.
