Over the winter I upgraded to a larger nearly new Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 Tiller. It has the a max hp on it in a 90hp ETEC. I got it out on the water today with hardly any gear in it and got a lousy 32-33mph on GPS with the motor trimmed up. I was really hoping for a little more since the motor is already moved up one hole. I am wondering if anyone is already running this boat with a higher pitch prop. I want to pick up some high end speed. I don't really want to move the motor up any higher since I might suffer too much on hole shot. I beleive it has just a standard aluminum prop. I did not check my RPM at high end and the way I understand it I think I may need to get it out again to check RPM's for pitch sizing purposes. I am not sure when I might get the boat out again in the near future since work is really busy right now. Any help here would be great. Thanks in advance. Tom
