Ok, finally got my maiden voyage out of the way and everything went well. My motor actually started on the first pull. The thing is I went out with the GPS to check my top speed and hit 21 mph, to me thats good on a 14ft aluminum, but it sounded like the motor was going to blow at WOT. I have never run this motor before other than idle in a bucket. I don't know if it has the org. prop on it or not, is there any way to test the different props (does any store let you do this?) to see if i can bring the R's down, or is this normal for this motor??? <br /><br />Thanks,
