2001 25 Outlaw - SPEED ISSUES / PROP
 

I have a 2001 25 Outlaw with a 502 MAG MPI all stock with a 23p mirage plus STOCK

Best I get on GPS is 62mph @ 4500rpm 1/4 - 1/2 tank of gas with 2 people

I contacted bblades to lab finish, he says best Im gonna get is 2-3 more rpm and mph

Shouldnt I be able to get 68-69 mph on gps and closer to 5000 rpm

thoughts?????

Your motor could be tired? the 502 should push a stock 23 m+ to 49-5000 easily with full fuel and a cpl peeps. My 454 used to run at 48-4900 at 63.. best was spring 2 ft chop 64.7 at 5k.

Has it been tuned up? Wires, plugs, etc.

boat is mint with 185 original hours......

Rpm gauge right? Are you trimming out till it blows then down a touch? Should definitely push that prop faster.. what is your 4k speed .. should be around 49

trim it til it looks like a jet boat rooster tail.....lol

Whats your speed at 4k.. oh, are these GPS speeds?

If it is rigged at the stock X-dimension that Baja set and you're seeing a rooster tail you might be trimming up too much and in return the prop isn't working efficiently. There are a lot more guys with a ton more knowledge on this forum that might be able to help with your concerns.

Also, I would suggest searching around the Baja forum towards the bottom, you may also find help there as well.

This is a Mirage +? Try a Non+ Mirage, you'll get some more rpm and maybe a tad more speed.
If he is trimming too high his rpm would be higher & speed lower, I don't think that's it. Any Idea on your boat weight?

I thought of the RPM being higher as well, but if it is looking like a "jet boat rooster tail" with Baja's X and it being all stock then something is not right somewhere. Unless there is some kind of lab on the prop with a big cup? Play Loud 3, are you the original owner? Has there been any work done to the prop?

I will check that @ 4000

Im on the Chain o Lakes......right now no wake, water high from rain
