    I have the 75 HP Optimax on mine and the speedo will read 43-44, but it probably GPS's at 40 MPH. Your speed doesn't sound too far off for the 4 stroke. I guess make sure you are on top of the water all the way.
    What are your RPM's when maxed out? What Prop do you have?

    We would need to know a little more information to give you a better answer.. What was the RPM at WOT? Is this a new boat? Is this what it has done all along? Have you changed the prop or any thing?

    One funny tidbit--I have a 150hp on a Ranger 354v and I can only do 40-45 tops (because my wife is with me alot--she doesn't want to go any faster than that)

    4800-5100.....I found that if you adjust your plane,it will increase your speed. Play with the trim,it will make the difference.
