I have a 2000 Horizon 190 (19.5 ft) with a 5.O injected engine with a top speed of 52MPH at 4900 with a 19 pitch prop. My neighbor just bought a 2005 Horizon 200 (20.5 ft) with a 5.0 carbed and has a top speed of 40 MPH at 4600 with a 21 pitch prop. Does this sound right? I know he has 25 less HP and is a little heavier, but that is a huge diefference. What top end should he expect? Do you think he needs a tuneup on the carb?

Four Winns shows the 200 Horizon with 5.0 Carb with 19" pitch prop, not 21 on the boat. With the right prop the boat should top out at 47-49MPH.
