Rob, it does have trim tabs...tried with the boat trimmed and with tabs
flat. Didn't make a big difference. Actually got it to 39 or 40 mph
once, but it started bouncing so I had to trim it back down. Bravo III
outdrive, so two stainless props. RPM at WOT did eventually get up to
4500, but it took forever to get there, and the boat seemed slow out of
the hole. What do you think about go down a notch in pitch given that
additional info? Does it sound like that would help? As I mentioned
to RG, we did have about 1,000 lbs. worth of people on the boat, but I
was still expecting better performance even at 4500 feet elevation.
Thanks for the info--very helpful!

It's nice to have a relationship with a marina &/or a prop shop who will
let you test/borrow a prop set now & then... figure $1k for a stainless
Volvo prop set, the B3 sets should be similar or less.

I would try before buying on the props, & at your home water.
