Yes wot is 5000, and I was wondering if I would be better off to go from 22p to a 24p to bring the rpm down to 4800.... because on smooth clean water I can hit the limiter easily... I boat in rivers and smaller lakes... KY lake is the biggest water I'm in

I run Mercury Revolution 4's 23 pitch that were labbed. Port and Center Left hand rotation and Starboard Right.
Replace the antennna's when you upgrade GPS
Colors and design look great!

You might be able to go one size bigger or get those props tweeked a little. I would say that the 22s slipping a little and hitting the Rev limiters easily is not ideal in calm conditions. However, you don't want them to bite to much, it will keep the drives alive on that large heavy machine. Great looking boat and enjoy it.
