I have a 2014 Bass Tracker PT190 with a Mercury 90 Four Stroke Motor. I can only achieve a top speed of 33 mph. That's with full tank, two people, and normal amount of fishing gear. Other things I have read, seem like I should be able to move faster than that. Motor starts fine, idles, and runs fine. Far as I can tell. Original style prop 13 x 19 blackmax.
Any thoughts?
WOT rpm? prop to pad measurement?

I have the same boat as you miller. Similar set-up. I can run 43 by myself. Still high 30's with 2 people. 5400 RPM.
Is the prop still in good shape? Are you trimming up after getting on plane?

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.

I went fishing this past Friday and my tachometer was reading 5400 RPMs and my top speed was 34, that was WOT and I was the only one in the boat. I have not measured the prop to pad yet. Seems like from StevenF01 it should be running faster.
The prop is in good shape and yes trimming after getting on plane.
How are you measuring speed?
