    What boat? Low water pressure 2-5 psi at idle is normal. Should have over 12 psi at WOT. Any less, and you either need a new impeller or your motor is too high.

    I think he means he has a Cobra 201 with a 200 EFI. And it should run better than 45-50.

    All kinds of infomation needed to give you any advice, how deep do you have your prop in the water below the pad, size and type of prop, what is your WOT rpms, how heavy is it loaded?
    You should be hitting mid 60's with a decent setup.

    Tx201 is spot on. Give us the info and then we can help. Generally you should be in the 60’s. I have a 2001 201 with a 225 EFI and get 67-69 with trophy and Tempest

    I have a 97 201D with 200 EFI. I top out at 60-61 with two guys and a very heavy load, two 8' talons, 4 batteries, heavy toolbox and a ridiculous amount of tackle and gear. My prop is a Tempest 23P. I have never fooled with the set-up so not much help other than another reference point.

    I had a 200efi on my 2001 coosa201. It had a 24P Trophy Plus on it and I could get around 60. I now have a 250xs with a Tempest 25P and it will push 80 with just me in there. It will run 73 with two guys wells full and full tourney load. Get ya a 250 lol
