Post New Prop?
I need to trouble y'all for a bit of your time.
I got a brand new GTR 37EFI the other day, I don't think its runnin where it should be. Im barely getting 26mph and turning 4230 RPMS when trimmed right up. Its on a 1754 mod V (PolarKraft Outfitter weights about 580lbs dry, Mod V) which aint ideal but its the best we got in Canada.

I know it will get stronger as it breaks in, but given all the above info do you think grabbing a different prop would help me out?
I think ill keep it stock'ish and only do the exhaust and prop.OR is my money better spent elsewhere?

My stock 37 gets the best speeds at 3900-4100 rpms. Try trimming down a bit and get more bite so it doesn't break past 4100.

2 blade? Or 3Blade?

The boat you have is probably holding you back speed wise.

I'm not sure on my current angle, the boat is a polarkraft outfitter 1754...
It has the 3 blade on it currently.
Yes, I'm sure my boat is holding me back some but barely 26mph? It don't weigh but 600lbs dry
