16' Crestliner and 75hp Yamaha

[ccarver80]

I have a 2004 Crestliner (aluminum) 16 foot with a 75 HP Yamaha 4 stroke.

Boat is 1,000# dry weight not including motor.

Max MPH I've hit is 32-33 with an average load.

I believe the max rpm is around 5200.

Id like to try to get to a higher speed without damaging my motor.

Right now I have a 3 blade aluminum prop not sure on pitch I'll get that tonight
