[QUOTE="gogittum, post: 491824, member: 27114"] I had a similar thing with a 2003 Johnson 25 hp 2 stroke on my 1663 Starcraft Seafarer. Do yourself a huge favor and buy a Tiny Tach - spend the extra few bucks for one and forget the cheap Chinese knockoffs. They don't work well. The Tiny Tach is rock solid. IIRC, (boat is sold and gone now) it was hitting 24 mph at 6200 rpm with the 10.5 x 11 prop.. I found a used 10.5 x 13 prop in good condition and it gave me 26 mph at 5200 rpm. Too much. Book calls for 5500 WOT. Then a neighbor came up with a rough looking, but functional 10 x 13 prop for it and that one gave me 28 mph at 5600 rpm. Close enuf for gummint work and it's still on there. Hole shot is great and I did raise the motor some on the transom. [/QUOTE]
