Sounds like your boat is running pretty good! I have an outboard 30 with XS motors. It runs 103-106 with fuel, beer and people. That is at sea level, salt water, in the summer. Light with one person it has run 108. That was with my old 3 blade merc cleavers. I am running Dewald 5 blades now that run really well. I haven't had a chance to run it light with one person with the new props. Plum Crazy, what props are you running?

My props spin out. I believe most 30's with OB's spin out.

THanks for the reply. I am going to switch them and see what happens. I have a 1.75 gear ratio and have four blade Brave 1’s and running 104.6 now at 6500 rpm’s.
