Just bought a 85 nova 23xl with a 5.7L 260hp. I took it out the other day an I was running around 4000 rpms. I have a 19 pitch prop on it. I took my carb off an had it rebuilt after taking it out just waiting to get it back and try it out. The boat sat for 5 years an I did a full tuneup. I was wondering what kind of rpms and what kind of props are you guys running.
