    130 Yamaha WOT sweet spot?

    Im putting a 2001 yamaha 130hp V4 on my 17' Anacapri cc. What is the ideal wot rpm to turn this motor? In my experience, most of the time you want to prop for the high end of the rpm range, which I see is listed at 5000-6000. But I have been told that the v4s only like to run about 5500...
