On a 21' center console with gear and 3 persons I am able to run at about 5200 RPM at WOT. I don't need to go this fast and usually run at about 3500 to 4200. Does this seem about right? Curious if the carbs may need a cleaning or if I may be lugging the engine. Replies appreciated.Thanks.

Your motor should turn 5800 @ WOT with a typical load. Sounds like you may be overpropped.
