You didn't say, but I assume you have twin outboards. Are your engines counter rotating? Do you have trim tabs on the engines and if so, are they set at proper angles?

I've seen that boat on TV. The amount of fuel it burns is unreal.

Helping my son sell his well cared for 1997, 21' Milan bowrider with Merc 5.7 Alpha drive. Very good condition with plenty of power to have friends on board and still pull skiers. This is a solid quality, well built boat usually found on the west coast. Located in Chester, VA. $9995.

Volvo Penta is an excellent engine/outdrive. I'm confused. Your topic says 6.2 but then you say it has a 350 Chevy engine. Volvo uses GM blocks but the 350 is a 5.7 block, not 6.2. Whichever one you have is a good sized engine for a 20' cuddy cabin. You gave a lot of infomation except what was important...what brand of boat, age and condition of boat and motor, how do you plan on using the boat - fishing and/or pleasure. If you're not familiar with Volvo engines, I'm assuming you are a boating newbie. What boating experience do you have?

How are you getting your speed? Speedometer or GPS?

Back to my first post... What RPM's are you running at WOT? Have you tried trimming out the engine. Is this a new boat? If new, have you asked your dealer about it? If it's a used boat, did it run like this when you sea trialed before buying from the previous owner? You need help but if you don't answer our questions, we can't give you any advice.

Is your engine RWC or FWC?
