Update....

Never took it out of the box or tried the 21p Rev 4. After hitting a larger lake to really stretch the motor out was hitting 5800-5900 rpm's with the current Trophy 23p. My bud owns a boat dealership and just brought it back and said I need a Rev 4 23p as the others here recommend. (5800-5900 was by myself, around 5200-5400 with the whole clan in)

The trophy 23p sucks out of the hole and top speeds with full tank of fuel, myself, wife and (2) kids was 49 something. (gps) Livewells were half full too.

This motor was definitely rebuilt at some time, that I knew, along with a new lower unit. The lower unit is some kind of racing deal with exhaust out of the water when fully trimmed and raised on the jack plate. She sounds a ton faster then it is really going. Loud is an understatement.
