Hi all, iv bought a 2006 tohatsu 30 short shaft on a excel HD385 RIB. It's topping out at about 20mhp and just doesn't seem or feel as quick as it should. Anyone give me some kind of idea what speeds I should be seeing from this setup?
Thanks

My set up will do 24-25 so yours should do better. Truthfully I'd rather cruise them 18-20 it just seems safer and more comfortable.

You should be doing 28 to 32 mph. So, boat not fully inflated, wrong pitch propeller, engine not mounted correctly or sick engine.
