I'm still learning my new motor. With that said, I can reach 40MPH at 6300 with 50% trim lightly loaded.(My boat has bottom paint) I am pretty sure I will refine those numbers when I get more comfortable going that fast. Just to clarify, I ended up getting a Yahama 13.25 X 15 aluminum prop. Thought I was getting a 16 but turns out I got a 15. I am pretty surprised that at 5800 when you put the throttle down you can really feel additional acceleration from there up ti 6200 - 6300. It looks like I may be able to squeeze out a bit more maybe in speed/RPMs by working with the trim. Top end speed is not really my priority but it is fun when the water is flat.
