Bayliner 205 5.0 with 220 horse... cruising 25mph at 4200 rpm?

[theskyking]

Hi everyone, I'm running a bayliner 205, year 2005, on Lake Tahoe, elevation 6220 feet.

At about 4000 RPM's I'm only getting 25 mph. Max RPMs, or around 5500, I'm only getting 32MPH.

I've read some threads where people say their cruising RPMs at 25mph is around 3200.

Is there something wrong with my boat? Need a new prop geared for Tahoe? Or just high elevation blues?

Any help appreciated, thanks!
