Correct props???
We have a 1987 Carver 4227, twin 454 with 2:91:1 gear reduction. It currently has 24 X 22 props and I'm wondering if these are fresh or salt water application, boat resides at Lake Superior. Cruises nice at 10/12 Knots and I'm getting 26 at WOT, does this sound about right for this boat??

Re: Correct props???
You should be looking at RPMs. What are the motors rated at, and are you achieving that at WOT?

We are seeing 3900-4000 at WOT, according to the documents I have the max is 4500.

Re: Correct props???
The first thing I would do is verify that your tachs are accurate. Analog tach are notoriously inaccurate.
