a mechanic i asked where i keep my boat said it was normal for the 3.7 to turn 5k at WOT, but i dont like taking one persons opinion for something so should i be worried my engine is maxing at 5k?

i dident bring any electronics on board, but im guessing i was around 40-45mph while at WOT which topped at just over 5k. as far as the prop, i have no clue, as it came with the drive. i honestly dident bother to check, hoping that since it came together, the prop would have been matched up...

the 470 package i was recently given came with a 3.0l outdrive for the 3.7l engine. no idea how, but dident realize until the motor was in and the housing on. they both came right from the same boat, and had only 80 or so hours on the engine. the owner of the glaxy swore they came like that...

im guessing i blew the gasket when the motor overheated. theres an engine alarm on there, but dident go off for some reason when the temp was rising. ended up smoking the engine real bad. was paying more attention to a snotty inlet, than my guages at the time. i also dont know the original...

i have an 82 mercruiser 3.7/470 in my V20. as is common with the engines ive heard, my head gasket blew on me, and im not too thrilled about the prospect of throwing another 470 in there. especially considering i could get half way down my canal on the first trip, and have another gasket blow...
