Default 5000 - 8000 RPM Surprise

NO WAY is the prop hub slipping. That would be 8000 rpms and ducks
swimming by you.
I vote for leaning out. BIG bubble in the fuel line, or the kid hooked
up a nitro bottle!

Nope. The boat went from its normal 17mph WOT cruising speed up to 25mph
in
an instant.

Oh yeah... I did kick the nitrous in when it happened.... kidding!
Anyway, I did get the clear message not to let it run that fast if I want
to have a motor when I get back to the dock. Thanks.
