Hello,
I’m only getting about 48 MPH top end speed with this motor. I’ve got a Tempest Plus 23p & an 8” Slidemaster Jack plate. I’m running the boat trimmed up to just about 1/2 on the trim gauge. Not sure of RPM’s at the moment. This is with full fuel tank, empty livewell, 3 batteries, 1 Talon & 2 boaters. I’m pushing 300 personally & front center storage full of tackle. Should I be seeing a little more speed? The hole shot is great! Would a different prop help at all? I know dropping some LB’s personally would but at 6’5” I may have to cut a leg off to lol! I’d like to be at least around 54-56. Thank you for any input in advance.
