I bought a 1985 16.5 MonArk fiberglass open bow with a 1.6l seadrive. my question is rpm peeks out about 5000 to 5300, and top speed is about 28 to 29 knots (i fiure about 30 to 35 mph) Does this sound right? the motor has the stock prop.I would like to get more speed <br /><br />Thanks for the help

Re: OMC 1.6L SEADRIVE

I have the OMC shop manual for the 1987 1.6L SeaDrive. It calls for 5500 rpm. You could go to a SS prop and pick up a few.
