I am running at 4800 rpm and gps says 63-64, motor is 496 mag/ho, the water conditions vary my speed by 1 mph or so, in order to get my rpms at 5000 i have to trim the drive up quite a bit but dont like doind that to much...

I ran a labbed 24 on a 1999 Prowler with a 500EFI and turned 72mph GPS.

I think you are over propped.

I have a 502 in my 99, with EMI thunders and a K&N airfilter.

65 with a 3/4 tank of gas full tank of water running a 24 bravo.

Unless you start adding HP, the 26 wont go much faster
