The boat likes 3800 rpm which is 28 mph, bump it up to 4000 and it squares to 30. This is with a 17" large diameter, large blade area prop. For WOT I just missed 50 mph on the GPS, only got 49 mph on the factory provided Honda 19" prop. Only did it once or twice when pretty new, I don't really care about WOT numbers. As a performance number, last year's trip to the Bahamas was a total of 319 miles in four days and I burned 96.5 gallons of gas, FULLY loaded. Not sure I ever went over 4200 rpm the whole weekend. Happy shopping.
