I have a 1995 Johnson 130 25 shaft that I bought used a few months ago.I mounted it on a Polar Kraft 2096XCC aluminum mod V boat that I am guessing weighs around 2300 lbs as it sits including the outboard.It runs great but I can not get it to go past 5K rpms.I have tried 3 different prop sizes and with all 3 it won't go past 5000 rpms.I do know that the lower is not the original it has a lower from a V6.So I know the gear ratio is off.It came with a 15X17 SS that will make it run about 5000 rpms at 39 MPH(GPS).I tried a aluminum 14.5X19 and it ran about 4300 rpms at 33mph (I think.I did not write it down).After trying the 19 pitch prop I raised the motor as high as I could with the factory mounting holes.Then I tried a aluminum 15.5X15 and got 5000 rpms at about 38 mph.I also tried a SS 15.5X14 and got 5000 rpms at about 35 mph.The tach is a brand new faria.I was wondering can I adjust the throttle stop a little to see if it helps or do you guys suggest something else.If you need more info let me know.
Thanks,Jeff
