Try putting in 23.2 for the slip calculator, since thats what a 24 bravo measures out to be about. Slips even lower.

I'm with you, I think he's down on power. Whats the build specs?

With that cam, not surprised its going faster with the smaller prop. Try a 22p bravo one.

Where did the HP peak ?

Then let's go to the dyno. What exhaust on the dyno and what exhaust in the boat. You can easily leave 40 or more from dyno headers to marine manifolds.
