Those numbers are off for sure. However the fact remains NOW its at 55 mph with a 25p prop. Im trying to find out information from someone that understand prop slip, pitch, diameter vs weight to see if a 21p would possibly increase speed instead of the normal slowing it down.
Maybe due to being over propped or other factors. I dont believe the coupler is bad, two different props with different hubs yielded similar result that I would say is typical but both props do seem like its not grabbing water compared to the many other boats I have drove. Just feels like
Im not getting all the HP and RPMS to the water compared to the sound. It gets louder and you can feel a increase in speed but not much. i know its got more in it and im looking for someone that knows these boats for similar readings or possibilities/things to check. Im going to check
the upper drive ratio next I think.

Having owned a 225LPX with a 415hp 502, you will never, ever, see 70mph unless you’re towing. Low 60s is about as good as it will get, on a good day. And seems as though you have found that.
The hull is is not designed for it. As mentioned, a hopped up 225 from Ohio was able to break 70s and he never said it was enjoyable despite being able to run those speeds.
