Uhh, you should be able to get to full RPM in flat water. If you can't
maybe you've overpropped the boat. After 150 hours you should be able to
apply full power and find out.

My OEM prop (provided with the engine, by Volvo) actually only lets me run
at about 2200 rpm.

Admittedly my bottom is a bit foul and I'm push a lot of windage. And the 7
knots is about hull speed for this boat. (judging by the quarterwave).

The next time I pull the prop, might have them take a bit off the pitch. I
want to keep this diameter though.
