My rinker planes off well but my top speed is 28 mph at the Rev limit. Seems like I can very easily over Rev this boat. I have a standard Merc 14 x 19 prop. What is causing this to over Rev so easy and shouldn't I be at least 35 mph in this boat? I have the prop off and have no idea if I should go buy a new hub or could the prop be bad? Thank you for the help!

If your prop is in good shape then I think you have the trim to high. I have the same boat with larger motor and have no issue hitting 50.
