Hi i have a etec 150 on a 1976 revenge 19 i am currently mounted all the way up(cant go any higher) wich puts my av plate about even with the hull bottom maybe slightly higher i am running a viper 17 pitch and am seeing 5500 5600 ish rpm at wot and 45ish mph does this seem about right or does anyone think i could do better ? thanks buchanan

Sounds good to me. You could probably milk a little more top speed out of it with a jack plate and a faster prop, but that's pretty damn good as it is.

Thank you tom I was hoping to get your insight. I am pretty happy w it as is the hull is probably at its safe limit anyway!
