1984 23 Seacraft Sceptre Hard top

[ScottM]

pmtautog,
Your performance #s are similar to my father's '82 running a '97 225 carb'd Yamaha. He cruises about 27 @ 4600 and WOT 39-40 @ 5600. The hardtop is probably slowing you down a bit but I wouldn't consider your boat underpowered. You want to talk underpowered? My '78 Grady 20' WA runs an old carb'd 115 Evinrude and gets 28-30mph WOT.

makoman,
If 4700 is WOT, it sounds like you need a different prop. If that's a cruise #, you're doing really well except for the fuel consumption, which leads me to believe it's a WOT #.
