Bought a new Baja 25 outlaw with 502 mpi. The posted speeds by Baja were 63-65. I have a Merc mirage Plus 23 pitch prop that came with the boat. I have never seen more than 62 mph indicated on the Gafrig Monster Speedo and that was at about 4350 rpm. Full of gas and 4 people it won't even plane without using the trim tabs. I am looking for some help whether it could be the motor, propped wrong or if that is really all the boat will do. I got really frustrated with the article in last months hot boat with the 28 Velocity. The velocity has the same 24 degree rise pad bottom is 1'6" longer, same beam, and weighs 100# more but ran 67 mph on radar. I got 59.6 on GPS WOT with 3/4 tank of fuel and 2 people. I love the ride comfort and look of the boat and it starts every time. (This is a new concept from my old boat.) If the speed I am getting is all she's got that is fine. I feel that with "415hp" on tap it should be doing a little better. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you all!!!!!!!!!
