1989 V-4 Evinrude 88 horsepower SPL E88MSLCER

Hello again,<br /><br />I have one more question. I took my boat out and it runs 45 MPH at wide open throttle and trimmed out. I have a 1989 15 and a half footer chapperral ski boat. The prop on it is 12 3/4 by 21 pitch. I do not have a tach guage on it. Just curious if this sounds right to you guys?

Nope. Even at 20% slip you'd still be lugging the motor.<br /><br />I see a tach in your future.....

I forgot to add one more thing. I did add a StingRay Hydrofoil stabilizer because the bow of the boat was to high during plaining. Would this slow the boat down?
