Default Re: whats your Top End on 23s

My old '74 Tsunami with '88 225 Johnson and 100 gal of gas topped out at 36-37 mph at 5400 rpm with an OMC 14.5x17P stainless.

Previous owner had it rigged with twin Mercury 140 inline 6 O/B's with Mercury Trophy props, size unknown. He said he got 42 mph for WOT trimmed out and light on fuel. Sounds about right.
