My whaler only goes around 25 mph with 2 people and 6 gallons of gas at full throttle. The engine does only go up to 5000RPM at WOT, I'm not sure why it doesn't go up to 5500. Maybe I'll have the timing checked.
The trim is manual, and it at the second hole from the top. I'll try tilting it more.
The motor is also on a jackplate, but the cavitation plate is about an inch under the keel.
Do these sound like plausible reasons for the lack of speed? The engine runs well, just doesn't get to 5500
