I have a 25' CC Explorer w
I have a 25' CC Explorer with a 280 hp BB V8 Chevy engine. I have a 1-1 Paragon P21L Transmission and a 14 x 13 prop. I had her out today and I can get about 3600 - 3700 RPM's on WOT with a speed of 22-23 knots. The river that I am in has a pretty strong current so the RPM do move a little depending on the which direction I'm going. This is the first time I have had everything together and running properly. My question is is this about right for the size and engine. I have owned the boat for 2 years and feel like she is running well.
