[QUOTE="thill, post: 513959, member: 4972"] 20.9 mph with a 9.9 is very good, in my book. Go fishing! USE the boat and stop worrying. AS YOU GET TIME, do a few things... 1. Tighten the steering tension a bit, if it pulls hard when you take off. 2. Loosen the steering tension if it's just hard to steer. 3. Adjust the trim tab above the prop on the cavitation plate to reduce pulling to one side. 4. Buy a tiny tach off Amazon to find out your RPM. They are maybe $15. 5. Once you know your RPMs, you may want to go down a prop pitch or two to get on plane faster, let your engine breathe easier and run at the recommended RPM at WOT... but ONLY if it needs it. Congrats, and ENJOY your boat! [/QUOTE]
