[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 327383, member: 7791"] The sweet spot will be 6250 rpms or that is where you will get the 15 hp from.....anything above or below the motor won't be putting out 15hp although these motors can be run to 7k but I wouldn't do that to my motor personally. My guess is you may get another mph or so by going to an 11 pitch because with the numbers you posted you could turn it right in the sweet rpm area of the motor. Your slip numbers are not great but they are not terrible either for a small motor. It is hard to get under 13% or so with motors of this size. When you get over 20mph with a 15hp you are doing pretty good. Only other way to get more out of it would be to try and move the weight in the boat around or lose some weight entirely. Sounds like you have played with the trim and height of the motor and found how far is to far out of the water already. I would say you are getting just about everything you are going to get out of a 15hp [/QUOTE]
