Hey guy's. Im new here. What a great forum this his. Here is my problem. Just bought a 23 foot Conquest 230 made by Power Play. Kind of a small Baja. Equiped with a 1989 Mercruiser (350) 5.7L 270 HP with Alpha one 19 pitch propeller. The boat iddle perfect. It as a descent acceleration for its size and weight. Here is my probleme. It stop at 3800 rpm (wot) and i can't go over 36 mph. Original w.o.t is 4400-4800. I think im suppose to get at least 48 mph easily. Rochester 4bb is the carb's set up. (original) The boat as been sit for 3 years at a friend house. I bought it from them like that. They said the boat always did those performance but im pretty sure there is a few horsepower missing.
I was thinking about bad fuel pump psi ? Maybe the carb's need a rebuilt ? Im not to sure, but as i said. The iddle is pretty good and the 0-36 mph is pretty smooth. Im just stuck at 3800rmp and 36 mph wich is not fast enough for this kind of boat.
Thank's for your time...and help
