When clearing the 6 knot speed zone in our area I regularly throw both throttles to full to come up on plane. The boat accelerates rapidly to plane and I bring my throttles back till I am about 4000 RPMS or so. In that range I am doing about 25 knots. The boat is running great at that speed, and both the throttles have a long way to go to max out. The boat can very easily do much more, but I keep it there. The boat feels like a thoroughbred wanting to run, and I must admit I would like to let her go once.
The question is: Is running at 4000 RPM’s going to do premature damage to the engines? We are talking about dual 350 MPI Horizon, inboards here.
