Is my boat running right
Definetly low on the rpms. Not sure of the hp on that engine but 4800 max
wide open would be right. Let us know what prop you are running (size, material, # blades). Also, have you done a compression test on the engine. -- Tony My boats and autos - http://t.thomas.home.mchsi.com "Glenn" wrote in message om... I have recently purchased a 1984 21' Century 4000 cuddy. Nada listed the engine as a 260hp not sure if this is true...The engine says 464 on it. First does anyone know what HP this really is. I get about 3200 rpms wideout and only 25mph with 3 people in it...this does not seem right for a 260hp engine with a boat that weighs 2800lbs. Any info would be helpful. The tach is brand new |

Is my boat running right
Tony thanks 4800 is what I thought it should be around. Don't know
anything about the prop. I'll have to pull it out of the water to check that but no i have not done a compression check. Since I'm new to this what exactly will that indicate.
