Hello,
I am in need of some expertise here. I have owned boats my whole life, but I am new to the Supra's. I just recently purchased a 87 Supra Saltare with a 454 that has a slight build to it. I took it out today with a 1/2 tank of fuel, my father in law along with myself. And it seemed that engine could over rev in 2 seconds. I have read at WOT you should be a 4200-4500 RPM's. there is currently a 13x13 Acme 541 prop. I understand that these boats are necessarily made for speed. But I do not want to hurt the engine. We are going to be using it for multi use (skiing, wake boarding and wake surfing) but there are times that I will wanna go flat out. Any help would be great
