WOT 24-26mph @4000rpm


I have 1996 400 with the 454XLi. They run well, no known problems.

I wanted to bounce a couple things off of the list.

1) WOT is 4000 RPM and 24mph or 27mph depending on the current and winds. This seems a little slower than it should for 4k rpm. I dont cruse at that speed but if I take it out for an hour, and its smooth out I like to run it up for a few minutes. Also seems like its struggling to get on a plane. I want to say crusing @ 3400 I hang around 20mph maybe 18 into the wind

2) I have a closed engine cooling system with heat exchangers. Temps run about 180 degrees, which I hear is normal. When I do these spirited runs it stays around that level but then the temp climbs about 10+ degrees when I idle it down. The stb can get close to 200. Is this what others are seeing?

Thoughts??

Thanks

Steven
