If this is a new boat to you, one thing that might be worth considering is to have the injectors checked. The 17 pitch prop should be awfully close to what the boat should be having on it, and the boat should be running just about 40 or so...
Did a little bit of searching about what kind of numbers you were seeing... Something you can check is to pull the plugs. If they are really clean, you might be running lean, thus the motor is not reaching it's full potential. If the injectors are clogged a touch, that will rob you of horsepower quickly, thus potentially giving you the numbers you are seeing.
This could potentially explain the poor hole shot as well.....
