Thank you for the nice comments. I run at 3500rpm and that gets me a cruise of 30 knots. At 4500 rpm I get top end of 38 knots. I run a 14.5x19 prop. I love the heavy ride of my I/O. Cruising offshore of key west in 2-4 foot seas, I can still cruise at 25 knots. I just picked up the boat this past February from a guy down here in the keys. He brought it down from Virginia. It had a name burned into the gelcoat "summertime" with a home port of Yorktown, VA. I just got done restoring the gelcoat. It appears everything on the boat is original which I love.
