My Classic 18 has a '99 350 mag that recommends a WOT rpm of "44-4800" rpm. When i trim it out and open it up, i can get close to 4600. Most other boats I've had have been near or just above the upper limit of the recommended WOT rpm. Any guesses as to where those 200 rpm went? other intangibles: '86 alpha drive with mirage ss prop. previous owner put on bottom paint (which i'm planning on stripping).

thanks!

What size prop are you running and what are others who are turning the RPM you want running?

It's probably from the bottom paint and dependant on what prop. You're not too bad off, I wouldn't worry much about the 200 rpm.

Nice looking boat, what year is it? What are you seeing for top speed?
