I have no idea what size/pitch my prop is. It's an older Michigan Wheel alum is all I know.
The boat is a 1990 17' Wellcraft with a 3.7L Alpha-One (1st gen).
I was on the lake yesterday with my wife and opened it up as far as it would go. The boat (this is a little less than normal load) hit 37-38 MPH and 4,000 RPM's. Now, it cruises along nicely at that speed, but being a newb I have to wonder if it should be hitting higher RPMs, a faster speed, etc?
It planes nice, and rides level (thanks to some Smart Tabs).
Any input would be appriciated.
