For example, I can get about 90mph @ 5200 RPM, BUT, I'm also running 18" dia prop where you are running 16". I would think you could get those RPMs touching the limiters with that smaller diameter prop?....

Engines will turn 6200 the props that I ran were 17.5 x 33’s not sure what props are on it or why they have been changed... that boat should be running mid 90’s.

Hey Bigfarmer. noticing we losing some steering fluid. Cant see any high pressure leaks anywhere, little bit of fluid in the bilge. Any ideas?

Not sure where the power steering fluid is coming from... maybe check the connections at the cooler, I believe those were new hoses I but on.

Crowfoot I’d be more than happy to come over and get this boat dialed in for you guys!!! Have and vacancy at the Candy Mansion...???

Ok will thanks will throw the 33's back on and give it go. will be a good bench mark. How many people and how much fuel did you normally run with? Also how far did it take to wind it up too mid 90's.. a mile?

Always plenty of room at the Mansion cant hurt to ask
