Finally got to use the boat this weekend and I think my prop may have too much pitch. I couldn't really get over 5,000 RPM. There were three on board and a full fuel tank but little other gear. Stamp says it's 15 1/4 x 15, don't know if it's be reworked though. It's on a 1973 23' Tsunami. The boat listed at 2,650 lbs new (dry, no motor). Now it has an enclosed transom and the motor's on a SS bracket. It also hase 33 years of moisture absorption.
