You didn't mention your red line or the rev limiter setting. If your red line is 52-5300 and you have full tanks and a couple passengers you may be in good. shape. As you burn off fuel you will pick up some R's.

If you are to be at 5600 to 6000 you have too much prop at her right now.

I had a half tank of gas and only 2 people on the boat. Red line should be 5200
