Chief Keef, you see these posts just as much as I do, feels like weekly that people want to know this that and the other about why their boat is so slow or what mods or parts would add mph....
I got an idea...dial your shit in!
Make sure your pump is right, how bout a cap and rotor and wires and plugs and a carb rebuild and have have someone who knows what they are doing dial it in.....

My fat hog had a bazillion hours on it with plug wires from 1984 and did 55mph all day.
Faster than I ever thought it'd go.
All I've ever done is kept the pump tight, changed the plugs, oil...

Blah blah blah.....
I'm just rambling.
Don't mind me, it's not like I own a boat.
What the hell am I doing here anyways???

I would definately do a leak down and compression check on the motor but before id jump into a full rebuild id consider taking a look at the pump. A pump will wear out alot faster than a motor. Have a good pump
Builder look at it/rebuild it and make surenyou have the right impeller in it. 4k rpm is too low.

I'll do that.  All that's the start I was looking for anyway. It's a learning process. I do think the pump needs a going through to be honest.  Its a JG with an A impeller unless they changed the internals somewhere along the way.
