Will the Stiletto 17 turn the same rpm than the Viper or lower? At 5300 alone, 5000 loaded, I'd be happy...

I sometimes wonder if the engine isn't mounted too high (it's been set-up by the previous owner), as there's no real gain in speed for the last 10% or so of throttle advance. At 5100rpm, it already reach 38mph and if I push it all the way, it barely gain another mph and start to rock back and forth. It is like 4 holes up, i.e. higher that it can be if bolted to the transom.
