Is the transmission fluid burnt (stinks and dark colour)?

Sorry, dont really know. I know some mechanic talked about some Merc lightning or some flashy name like that.
Engines runs well though, I can rev up to 5k easy and probably above that but with newly built engines I would like to stay below that. The boat should work anyway I belive.

Are you raising the trim tabs???

you said you can rev them to 5k ?? is that under load, in gear trying to get on plane, The reason I asked about ignitions is if their TB4 vs TB5 there is different timing sequence to set base timing to get full advance, but maybe your engine builder already knows this. I have to ask ( are the props on the right drives )

I really hope and think they are on the correct place I tried to just go 1 engine at a time and achive about the same result on each engine, a few mph slower like expected.
Everything feels kind of normal if I my top speed were supposed to be 20mph. But with 8-900hp I was hoping for more

Question: The props seem/look kind of small on this kind of boat. In the combination with 10-20% barnicles(the small shells) on the hull, could this affect the performance this much?
