Max RPM for a 496 HO is 5150. You are 400 rpm low. Either low on power or too much prop. What brand prop and what model? Hopefully someone with Baja 35 experience will chime in.

Had a friend with same boat and engines. He ran same props just over 70.

I dont think props are your problem. You may want to have your engines scanned for codes! I went through the same thing.. 4 years later, I scanned and had knock codes on both. Picked up 5mph after I changed 1 sensor and cleared codes!
