Those rpm's and mph should be way up with that motor and only a 17 pitch. First question, do you have your motor height set correctly? If too low, that's a lot a drag. Are you running negative trim and making the bow plow? Have you checked cylinder compression? Just some questions to start right off the bat.

I thought the same thing when i first got the boat and then reading about all these people in xpress boats sling 19 21 pitch props. Compression is 120 in all 3 cylinders, motor runs great. Cavation plate is about 3-4" above bottom of boat. I trim it out till it gets alittle bounce then back off a bit

I think with a 90hp on that hyperlift hull you should be able to turn a 19p black stainless about 5400rpm.
I have the same size boat with a Yamaha 2 stroke 75hp, its the same motor as yours but tuned down. I turn a 17 powertech 5400rpm 41mph I turn a 19 Yamaha black stainless 5000rpm 38mph. |

Sure is a pretty boat with the changes you made and 40 mph with that load is not bad.

May ask Cajunchristian about hooking the hull on a boat like this to get more trim and hold the bow up thus gaining more rpm= more speed
