Hi all I purchased a 1985 Reinell 192 Sunchaser with a 260hp 5.7L gmc motor this year and have done quite of bit of work on it mechanically. I've changed spark plugs, wires, points, distributor cap, rotor, and I rebuilt the carb. My boat gets up to 43 mph which is plenty fast for me but it only gets up to 4100 rpm wot with a light load. The seloc manual recommends 4200-4600 rpm at wot. My prop is a 3 blade stock 15 × 17 pitch aluminum prop, it does have some minor dings but nothing terrible. If anyone has experience with this set up I'm wondering if I need to change props or is something still mechanically wrong that is keeping me from achieving a higher rpm. I'm thinking to drop to a 15p prop or even a 4 blade with 13p if I could find one. Any input would be greatly appreciated I'd also like to dabble with waterskiing and wakeboarding
