Hello - just going by memory, but I think we get around 4,300rpm tops (though I'm not sure how accurate our gauge is). We bought new props last year and they are Powertech B5 duo props. We've hit fractionally over 33kts with them, using the AQ205 and dp290 out drive. I bought them from a company caled 'Coastal rides' in the UK (they've a load cheaper than official Penta props, but exactly the same performance). Hope this helps!

Hi, it looks like you have got a falcon 23. Thats what i have. I was wondering what revs you are running and at what speeds, also if you know what props you have got.cheers
