04 model on a 17ft Glastron. I have been reading a lot about the max rmp between 4500-5500.My owner manual states that as well. I have 9 hours on the motor so far. Prop is 13 1/4X 17 pitch. I have not been able to get the Rpm past 5100 at 39MPH. Water was semi calm , not as bad as it usually is at this time of the year in sw florida, and all the rain we get. I raised the prop as much as i can , it was almost out of the water. I did not get it to vent. Would I be able to reach the 5500 rmp on a WOT? Is that what I am looking at ?Or maybe the engine is so new. Can the prop be a factor here? I did not ask the dealer yet. I want some of your opinions . Thank you.
