You need more RPMs at WOT or you will hurt your motor. You need to get close to 6000 with a medium load, on that 4.2 liter. If the motor is new, it will make oil for a long time if you don't. Reprop for more RPMs. A 17 pitch Rev 4 or SWS 2 in 17 pitch. Both of those make 48 mph at 5900 RPMs on mine, '19 2320.
The other prop I was running would top out around 6200 rpm with crap fuel economy and maybe 38mph. Yeah I couldn’t get as high rpm with the other prop but it would go way faster and got double the fuel economy. Sold the boat anyways and damn near doubled my money. Kept the old original prop also hahaha looking at an intrepid 34 twin hpdi 250s. The Parker was great and all but I really want something with ac and easier to overnight on. Stay safe out there.
