Hey guys Im new to this site but I have a few questions, just bought a boat
2003 Bluewater Mirage 20'
5.0GL 220HP 19 pitch aluminum prop
I took the boat out and I could only get about 40-41 MPH on the crappy speedo, I have boated for many years and i definately was not faster than 40MPH the tac was about 5200RPM but i didnt have the throttle right down but I didnt want to over rev it.
My question is, the gimble bearing went on the boat that test drive. (the dealer is getting it fixed at his cost) would that be slowing the boat down? Do i need a new prop possibly 21, it had crazy power out of the hole with 2 of us in it 20 gallons of fuel.
