Briguy, I don't know about the other guys on this board complaining. I just mentioned a friend had launched his Whaler w/a new 225 Optimax and I loved the sound of it.
I am running a 1989 Seacraft 23WA with a carbed Mercury 200 Hp. It has a 14 1/2" X 17" prop, Quicksilver part # 48-78118A40. Measued test speed by Mercury was @ 3795lbs 44.7 @ 5725rpm/
4245lbs 44.0mph@5700 rpm. It has trim tabs, hydralic steering and StingRay fin & 115 gal fuel tank. I still get about the same results, there has to really flat water w/ust a ripple and well trimmed to get 5700 rpm.
The info is from Mercury bulletin NO:88-128 1/13/88. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
