[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 154721, member: 1776"] I have a late 80's Evinrude on my 16 foot mod V. With a 13 pitch prop at 6000 rpm (up against the limiter) I get 26 mph. It really needs a new prop! I figured at most I might get 32-33mph out of it with a better pitch prop, I'm just too cheap to buy one. So I keep the rpms around 5-5.5k and cruise at 22-23 mph. It has a lot to do with the bottom of your boat too. I'm pushing a mess thru the water, there is no 'pad' on my 1978 aluminum boat :LOL2: [/QUOTE]
