I have a 94 bass cat with a 91 XR4 currently running 5800 with a 23P tempest. I am looking at buying a 175 EFI ( 92 model) that been taking car of. What kinda speed increase should I see and what prop should I look at using?

Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!
Thank You Leon Pugh
Considering the above I had a 94 PII with a 93 merc 150 xri. Best I saw was 62 gps with a 23p lazer II. The guy that bought it from me raised the motor 1.5" and put a 24p tempest on it. He says he's getting 67 out of it which I find pretty amazing 'IF' he's actually getting that. If so I'm sure his holeshot suffers but all things being the same, as said above using 1 mph per HP you should be approaching 70 mph. All is very much dependent on setup and the motor. Motors are not all equal.
I have a 91 XR4 now with a 23 Tempest and I only see 55 or 56 with a Tourny load. Running light weight by myself,I can run 59.

My 62 was with me only & light load. At that time I had raised the motor 1" from where it was. Don't know what the actual measurement was before. That was MANY years ago. That motor was a runner so your mileage may differ.
