Gaining a 1K and not more speed is wierd for sure. I've found that going from 1 prop to another can make a huge difference. But a 23 3 blade and 24 4 blade the speeds should be withing a few MPH and RPMs within a couple/few hundred of each other. Might wanna check you tach and or wiring to be sure all is ok.
If you find that you turn a 23 at 5500, try a 23 Plus or a 25 non plus (old style mirage) and see what they do. Likely more speed than a 4 blade will yield, at least that's the way it is on mine.
You/me/we are hijacking this guys thread so ya mght wanna think about starting another one if you want to continue.
Good luck on Friday and have a blast !!

I have played with the Advance from 32-38 netted nothing
Plug color is good so have not played with jetting.
Props same pitch 3 blade and 4 blade.4 handled better but 1mph slower than the 3 blade mirage plus.
I dont know any one using these Gil (the previous owner installed them he said they where Gils)muffles. They seem restrictive. can they be 500-1000 rpms restrictive. I dont know? I never had anything else on here. Since Got this boat I have bumped the speed up 8mph from the disappointing 51 from when I bought it. Slip % is horrendous.

Worry about your bottom paint 1st. Same time just make sure your engine tune is correct.
Always deal with known issues first. Then go from there.
