What is the propshaft height? If you could, hit the "caps" button.
Burning the candle at both ends.
Something is not right, that works out to be 2% slip. Either the tach is off, or the prop pitch is off.

Dealer said that every thing is where it belongs , But can not make up his mind on what is good 5000 rpms or 5700 . Big difference between the two , I will try a 22 next week , but of the four that he has put in the water three are running 24 Raker , and they are at 5700 " whats wrong with my child "
If you are GPSing 60MPH with a 24-pitch prop, then you're RPMs are WAAAAAAYYYYYY higher than 5000. Presuming 10% slip (a reasonable number, depending on trim) you would get 60MPH at around 5850RPMs.

Rich I raised the motor one inch and the rpm did not change , rooster tail got higher and the hole shot seemed a little slower. If the rpms are not right but the speed tells a different story and I raise the motor to get the rpms , and fry the motor I own it $$$$$$$$$
If u did get 60mph out of so called 5000 rpms then the rpm gauge has gotta be wrong
You wan to be running at least 5350 rpm min.
