my question stems from this. I am running a 93 looper 120 on a 16.2 foot 1050lb larson senza, has a 18p SS raker 13.5, 13 spline 2.1 gear ratio. ( i think its a 2.1 gear ratio, unless there is a 1.86 or 1.78 with a 13 spline. )

I am running 47mph @ WOT, according a prop calculator I should be turning 6500prm with 10% slio.. impossible as the powerpack limits @ 5800... is it possible that @WOT i have almost zero slippage, which would bring me right at 5800rpm.

Not likely you have zero slip. You really need to find out the lU gear ratio. I presume the speed reading is via GPS?

I believe that you may be mistaken as to the limit; it is more like 6,700 RPM.

Correct. It's at 6700 or 6200. It's written on the pack. It'll say 62L or 67L.
