You'll be better off posting this in the prop forum.

even with a new prop, you wont get that much out of that motor, 38mph is clipping along pretty good for that boat and motor, thats enough to ski behind for sure, :)

The boat jumps out of the water with 4-5 people in it! I had another boat same year but with a 1975 johnson 70hp running a 21 pitch and it went 42 mph! This being a 1992 hardly used 90 hp I should get closer to 45 I would think?? But that is why I am here asking everyone's opinion:D THANKS
