im running a 24 raker re-pitched to a 23 and only pulling 4900 rpms...
5300-5500 rpm is the best for all around performance. sounds like you could use a bit less pitch, raise the motor, try a different style prop, or all of the above. Make sure that your motor is in top tune and is in good shape first as well as testing the tach for accuracy.

We have the exact same setup boat and engine size and prop and I was running 4900 at wot until I figured out I had a power pak and coil bad. It turnes 5400 now not saing this is your prob just saying making sure your engine s running right is very important
