Wide open
me and my brother decided to have a friendly boat race the other day his Procraft against my Tihiti jet boat, I killed him out of the hole and it was a close race but his topend is a little higher than mine.
This was the longest I have ever held my boat wide open. Propably 2 or 3 miles with the RPMs around 4700 thats just a guess, my tach dont like to work.
Does it harm my motor any keeping it reved for so long??
Thanks

circumstances demand it sometimes
4700 rpms is very safe though in my opinion. its like 100 rpm a standard older mercruiser wot max and a couple minutes is safe 4 sure.
was that a turn to the inside across his wake to make the pass ? looked fun!!

You should be good to run 4700 rpm for a long distance. I never had a problem with that RPM.

Thanks guys, I dont know what speed i was getting I know my speedometer isnt real acurate but the speedo was way past 65 going on a second time around, My brother Gps'd his procraft and it was 69.9 mph so im going to guess mine was 65 ish.
