Default Prop ?????

Nice calm day on the lake yesterday so I thought I may see what top end is on new motor. Playing with the trim I maxed out at just under 50 on speedo (forgot to bring gps) and 4800 rpm with 15x17 aluminum prop. Should I be happy there since I rarely run fast anyway or could I change prop pitch for more top end?

Change to a stainless prop for better top end. And if you hit some sand it probably wont even hurt the prop but with the aluminum one you will be replacing it.

It's a 1990 GT210. Very similar to the Regazza from the late 80s. Very heavy boat. Went with a 350. Pretty close to stock as I am more interested in reliability.
