hi all,
I'm new to this forum and new to boating. I just bought a 07 tahoe q4 w/ the 4.3 fuel injected motor. After having it out on the lake this past weekend I was very disappointed in the top speed. The boat only went about 43 mph (speedo)
I had read quite a bit about the q4 and thought that the 220hp motor was suppose to top out around 50-55mph. The boat is equipped with a sting ray hydrafoil and a 21p merc vegeance prop (13 3/4")
I'm sure this prop is great for pulling skiers and wakeboarders, but I am also looking for something to get better top end. What kind of prop would help with doing so? Would adjusting the trim level raise my top speed? Any advice would be a great help. Thanks in advance
