As you can see from the dyno graph there is a very wide rpm band with usable power from 2000-4000 rpm. There is a small advantage to the higher max rpm, it only equates to 5 or 6 mph extra top end for me.

My boat idles at normal speeds 5mph or so. Spinning a smaller pitch prop negates the benefit of any extra HP or rpm, I want to spin a bigger prop not a smaller one, I don't understand your reasoning. Maybe it is more applicable to large diameter and high pitch (35+) cleaver style props like on a #6 drive, but for bravos it doesn't make sense. Also I am running a standard 1.5 gear ratio not some super low 1:1 or something.

If the engine makes more power throughout the rev range I can go from a 26p to a 28p and gain more cruise speed and top end. My idle speed would be almost the same. But I would gain 10-11 mph top end big improvement!

Top speeds at 4300 rpm
24p 56mph
26p 61mph
28p 66mph

But in order to turn the 28 I need more power all the way through or else I will be lugging the motor in the midrange where I spend 99% of my time. If I am wrong please explain it to me I am always willing to learn.

My boy owns A 2003 36 spectre called Maximus Boat has a set of teague Whippled motors with Bravo XRs with all Teague shafts Stainless Bell Housings Its a sweet ride The acceleration is insane from 0- 120 I think it may pull harder than his 40 skater with 1100s. The spectres a clean boat for a great deal i cant believe it hasn't sold yet for that price.
