Default Question on what speed to expect from 375 hp 496 mag in 262 Monterey cruiser

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!
