How do I get top speed out of a 21 ft Hustler with 200 Hpwr outboard? So far I use boysen reeds, drilled reed blocks, 2 to 1 gear ratio, relieved exhaust, 88 high speed jets. Bob's machine shop lower gear case and tuner. 14 1/2 by 26 chopper prop, Prop shaft even with pad. Let me know what kind of ideas you can share . . .

What kind of rpm's are you turning, sounds like you done all the tricks, head work is about the biggest power gain for the buck, good luck

Also, please share with us your setback as well as the height of the prop shaft in relation to the bottom of the boat at speed. :D :D :D

21' boat with a 200 hp V6. That is a lot of boat for a standard v6. You have done most of the tricks.
If you want significant performance increases, get a smaller boat or a bigger O/B. A 300X has the torque to push a 21' boat. Good Luck
