Might have seen 4600 on Stbd motor once. But usually tops out at 4400-4500. Have put about 6 hours on boat since purchase.

My 33 Outlaw acted the same way, same power with 25p M+, I think you're over propped for the power

As i asked in 1st thread, near top of it, you sure it’s not props or something else keeping rpm down ?

I had been wondering about that, but since Sunsation typically equipped Dominators with 28P Bravo 1s stock back in the day, it didn't seem to add up.

Nevertheless, I guess I could try a set of 24s and see what happens.

I've wondered if the drives were swapped to 1.36s, I plan to check that this week by rotating a motor by hand and counting prop revolutions.

Confirmed drive ratio is 1.5 , so it seems like both motors are down on power if they can't turn a 26 past 4500 rpm?

I'll try to find a pair of 24s to try, but in the meantime, my Diacom arrived so I'll try to get some data logging done soon.

No, if your seeing 36,37 9nce vacuum.drops, although for having the newer style cool fuel it should be 1 or 2 psi higher, you got other issues

Yeah, I'm hoping the Diacom runs provide some useful info.
I spoke today with a previous owner of the boat, he had it for a few years (prob 2018-2020 or so), said it never ran more than what I'm describing. So it appears it's not a new issue.
