I chip and chiped away at it .. first 2 years it struggled to hit 80mph.
Few more years to hit 90 , then last few years stuck at mid 90`s mph .
Ony took 11 years

Port motor runs less boost at cruise but more rpm and boost at WOT, not sure why .

18x29 R18 Herrings are the top speed props.
18x32 R15 Mercury are the cruiser props , and even thou theoretically they should go a 100mph at 5600 they don`t. 95mph at 6100.
I`m guessing the rake gets the bow more out of the water .

Wonder how much rake she would like ? '
18x31 R20 seems like the perfect prop to me .
