" I have a problem. My boat is
" I have a problem. My boat is a Lowe 1652VPT with a 45hp Mercury Jetdrive outboard. My motor turns about 5300 RPM's and goes 31 MPH at this engine speed. I WANT TO GO FASTER!! I looked at a 65hp Mercury Jetdrive and determined (through Mercury) that I would only get about 6 to 7 MPH out of this outboard. This motor has a bigger impeller, but turns the same engine speed. It seems that this is all the faster any of the jets will run. Do I have any alternatives to go faster in my boat? It is rated for 80hp. Does anyone sell an impeller with a different pitch? Thanks for anyone's help. "
