Friend's new boat: Chapparal 236 SSi with a Volvo 5.7L GXi DP. We took it out this weekend and broke it in. Seems very good, great hole shot w/ the Duo-prop. Anyway, we put enough hours on it to allow full speed runs, so of course we did. When trimmed out just right at the best speed we could make (52 MPH) it missed slightly a couple of times. I was watching a GPS for a speed reading and not the tach. My frined says it was around 5000 RPM. What I am wondering is whther we were possiblly bumping up against a rev limiter? Would it be set that close to recommended WOT RPM i.e. 5150 or so? What is the rev limter set at? Does it have a rev limter?
