Alright just finished driving it and it runs very strong got it to 58 mph but at 5800 rpm, it's got a tiny little prop on it and its only a 19p, I'm thinking it needs a 24p or 26p Bravo 1 prop. The casting # on the block is 10114182.

Casting Number 10114182

yikes!!
 

i would make him find the rite prop for it...btw you want a rev 4 23 pitch..just because it spins a 19 p prop to 5800 does not mean it will have the low grunt to pull the boat out of the water with a 23 or 24 p prop..could be running on 7 cylinders for all you know..it looks fishy and smells fishy with that prop on their

I forgot to mention I got this 4200 lb deep v boat to 58 mph in Utah (@ 5000 ft above sea level). I can't wait to see what she does in Havasu or the ocean with the correct prop.
