With a 19p 3 prop, what should I expect. is this a good setup or is there any good recommendations?

The '96 brochure lists the 3.0L equipped model at 40-46mph.

Before Big Red, I captained a Crownline 176 BR with a 3.0 LX. Her name was Little Smoke. With the 19P she was at the top end of the rev range, so I upped her to a 21P. Either way the speedo was reading about 45 at WOT with two people on board.

Was out today with a working speedometer and GPS verification as well. Had 5 of us in the boat, wife, 2 kids and one neice, all together maybe 500lbs. calm waters, at WOT was 4400 and was able to hit 37mph, how does that sound?

Taking the age of the motor into consideration, and dependent on the prop, I'd say that's pretty darn good for what it is. I can only get 32 mph out of my 3.0 182 shabah, seems to hit that mark regardless of the weight.
