Just splashed a 16 with H&M original 289 but I think the outdrive has been updated. Currently a Volvo 280 with Hydraluic trim.
4k RPM got me 53mph, is that accceptable?
It was a-blast still need too fine tune.

Was that with the throttle wide open? Also, what size prop being spun?

The RPMs of that boat and engine should be around 4800->5000 Rpms, which is what our 16 ran, now it has a 302 and runs a tad faster-nothing to write home about.
