New max speed with a full tank of fuel and 2 people 62 mph at 4700 rpm with a bravo 1 26 4 blade.Is my problem in the prop? I would think it should be faster and turning more rpms.The boat has 76 hours on it.

Did you run it again with the 24? You should be a solid 65 in any water with the 26 spinning 4700-4900 depending on how you have it trimmed.

if i'm reading correct , your spinning 4700 with both 24 and 26 pitch bravo 1 4 blade props? , if less pitch didnt up your rpm's then you need to look at the engine , my first look would be at fuel pressure while running , fuel pressure at idle wont tell you if your fuel pump has the ability to move volume at pressure in the upper RPM's

I would call Brett at call BBLADES and see what they suggest for that boat. Test a couple different props, you only have to pay for shipping. He will get you dialed in.

Does the boat have mufflers or restrictive tips, inserts or anything like that?
