I have a 1992 Wellcraft 215 with the 350 magnum and alpha one gen 2. SE116 is on the boat now. When I bought the boat the previous owner said the wrong gears are on it and that’s why it won’t get up and go. He blew up the old outdrive that he said was on the boat. So I opened hem them up and they are both 1.61 24-24 teeth. So everything online says it should have the 1.47 ratio. So I took it out to the lake and it would only get up to 30mph and only about 4200-4300 rpm. WOT rpms should be 4800. I used a 17 pitch and a 19 pitch prop. Didn’t see much difference in the two. Took forever to get up to 30mph and plane and hole shot was crap. It’s a pretty big boat. Just need help on what to do to get up to the correct rpms and top speed. This is my first boat so I’m not sure what to try. Willing to go to 1.47 or whatever else.
