Hello All... I have a 4.3 mercruiser lx in a Searay 175. The prop has been reconditioned but shows some bending at the blade tips. I tested it this weekend at WOT. I achieved 5000 rpm's and about 47 mph.
Here are my questions- is that too much RPM's? Seem right about speed? Why would I have that much RPM's? Boat runs great and is getting 47. Anways, I think I could get even better speed with a better prop.
Thoughts? I think it's a 14x23 pitch prop. Recommendations?
