i ran 5000rpm spinning the 28s showing 90 on the gps, i pulled 5700 in my other boat cant figure out why i cant get it to turn more rpms, it planes instantly. the cresent lowers on the bmaxs have a rough casting im going to smooth those and check the carbs to make sure they are opening all the way.

Your almost where im at, 5300/28's/91 i would think you should be about 5-7 mph faster.

are you spinning in or out?
