Anyone know anything about a 1986 35ft Webbcraft Concord
I recently got a 1986 35ft Webbcraft Concord. I am new to performance boat (if you can call this one) and need some advice. It has twin 454 mags and 3 blade 21p props. I am having trouble getting max speed b/c it porpuses a lot and I am getting about 58mph at 3400rpms on each tach. I don't know if I could get much faster but 3400rpms sounds low. I was told maybe 4 blade props might help. Anyone know anything about these boats and what I could do to help it.
Thanks
Thanks

Did you buy the one that was in the OSO classifieds for a long time? I believe it said 'MECH WARRIOR' down the side.....? I've always liked the look of those Webbcraft Concords. Good luck and enjoy it.

No. I got one from a repo auction. Got it very cheap. The paint looks great, but it needs some interior work. It's a good boat though. I am thinking of selling it and moving up. I might put it on here for like $17k.

Thanks to everyone for your advice.
I have alpha 1 drives. There is a good chance my tachs are off. I did buy the boat in a repo sale. I will check those first. If they are right I will try a smaller pitch. If they are broken I guess I'll fix them and see what I have. It does seem a little off to go 58mph at such low rpm's
