    Default Switching out engine for more speed

    Hi, new to the forum. I have a 99 outback LS with a 310 Indmar. Boat only goes about 43/44 mph. no skier. 40 w/ skier. would switching out the engine with something newer accommodate more speed or is the hull designed to achieve a max speed? Thanks.

    you can change the prop, but why would you like it to go faster skiing. unless you have a heavy barefooter, the prop would be you best bet, call nettles props and they will set you up.

    Tried it once behind, ok 'beside' a BlueWater I/O at 43 hanging off a boom. Dude told us you had to run that fast?

    Serious pucker factor...
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?
