I am planning to replace both props on the boat and recondition the old ones for spare. My Marina is telling me that they seatrialed the boat and motors at WOT are turning 2750 RPM with a laser tach, which is pretty much what i get on the helm gauges. The motors are rated for 2600 RPM and he claims the new props should be set up to run the motors at 2650 max. What do you think, should we divert from the original specified prop? They claim that i will pick up an extra knot on my cruise.
