305 Conquest Low RPM

Runs and performs well but I don't get near 5400 minimum spec RPM at WOT. Best I have seen is around 4600 - 41 MPH. Props are 19 pitch. Mechanic checked engines at purchase for problems, fault codes etc but he was not available for the sea trial. I noticed the low rpm at that time but the boat was immaculate and I took a chance on the sale.

Props are 19" pitch WHAT? brand, model and size (diameter x pitch)? I would be worried there is an issue with such low hours. I would have a factory trained Verado mech run the boat. These are fussy engines. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
