Re: 502 mag

Engine is a 1993 mercruiser 502 magnum carb. Outdrive is bravo 1, im not sure of the gear ratio. Hull is 23' deep vee 3750lbs. What is the max WOT rpm I should be looking for with a light load for best performance (top speed). On the engine is says 44-4800, but i was reading other people reving to 5k+.

thanks
