i bought a new pontoon boat with 4 stroke honda 50hp. The pontoon boat is 18'. The question I have is, right now the rpm maxes out at around 3200 and boat runs about 14mph. does not seem to have power that I thought it would. any help would be appreciated.

Re: rpm for 50hp honda

your pontoon boat is not going to plane and your hull speed is unknown, If your wot is so low maybe your uderpowered if you want to plane is that what you want? they make a V8 yamaha 300 hp that would be good haha
I'm thinking two 9.9s they have pontoons here in vancouver that carry bikes and I noticed they have ut to 25 hp anything more and you are wasting gas
