ok guys after buying the boat in the winter and installing all the stuff i wanted to i took the boat to a lake for the first real run with a workin tach and gps..

03 stratos 200 pro evinrude 200 di ficht
the air temp was around 41 degrees
jack plate was 3 in below rpm 5900 (which is too much), water pressure was frozen.. speed was about 67.8

i went to put the raker 26 on to see what it would do but after having the prop refinished i put it on and it is not perfectly round so it rubs...wtf i would think that the would have noticed that when repairing it. i am bringing back to get fixed

that being said i know the conditions were not perfect the rpm def need to come down should i adjust the jp or just put the 26p on or both??? i expected a little faster but ..
