"i have recently bought a coro

"i have recently bought a coronet 24 with 2 aq120a's. I am only getting 3000 revs which gives me 14/15 knots. revs are fine out of gear, fuel is clean, bottom is clean. Think i should be getting more. Can anyone help?"
 
A few thoughts: your propeller

A few thoughts: your propellers may be too big; or the hull may be too heavy (water logged); engines are tired; distributor needs overhaul; trim tabs (if installed) not set correctly; trim pin in the transom shield installed in the wrong hole (the middle is the default).
 
"I also have a coronet 24 but

"I also have a coronet 24 but with 2 aq130's, I can only go comfortably at 3000, I can push 4000. Originally it should have been around 5000. What year is your coronet? any pics?

"yes it gets to plane no problem. I don't know the knots, doesn't have a speedometer. My sterns are also in the pin closest to the transom. Mine is a 1969."
