You have a gentlemens performance boat! Don't gauge it against a $400-500k O/L. or...drop a blower on it!

Need to know basic info 1st. What prop and what pitch do you have currently? What RPM are you turning at WOT? Is that 80mph # GPS?

Any prop shop will ask those ?'s.

How much speed are you trying to attain ?

It sounds like it's running about where it should be.

You may find 1 or 2 mph by dinking with different
props........is that what your after ???

You need the Performance/Poker Run 353 they just came out with.

Stripped cabin, no heavy options, slightly lighter lay-up.

525's and boxes = low 90's
