    1998 Johnson 200 motor on 200XTE Aries boat slow on holeshot and top speed 50?

    New to the site 💪🏻 I just recently purchased a 1999 Aries 200XTE with a 200 Johnson motor. Has a slidmaster manual jackplate and it is sitting level with the prop at 3 3/4", renegade 4 blade prop. Love the boat but having trouble figuring how to get the holeshot time faster and also figure out why top speed is only 50mph with one person in boat. Love to see some pics of your Aries boat and dash up close. also does anyone have an owners manual for these boats? Thanks, Shawn

    I'd start with a compression check first. Whats your max RPM's?
