    5200 RPM or 5700 RPM - Which is better??

    I have a trusted buddy of mine who has raced bikes, four wheelers, and fished as long as I can remember. He tells me that his experience tells him that if I'm running my boat at 5200 rpm with a 27p, Vmax @ 71mph and better handling and plane that I am putting extra strain on my motor compared to running it at 5700 with a 25p Tempest @ 69 mph, still good handling and plane?

    Does this make sense to any of you "mechanically inclined" individuals? He has nothing to gain by misleading me. Just an old man passing on knowledge.
