25 at 2100 is pretty fast. I’m closer to 22 with 4 blade and same hull as you.

He'd probably wonder what brand and size is on it right now to give those numbers. He'd probably also wonder if the tach is accurate and the speed is GPS verified, since like Tom said, 25 mph at 2100 rpm is pretty fast now with whatever is on it

I don;t think youre going to save what you think you are going to save.
if you get the rpms lower, the manifold vacuum will be lower(numerically) because one still has to burn x gas to do x work
