Boats really not go as fast as many people think they should, unless they made for speed like a 454 Jet Boat. 31 is about right. Your Prop Pitch can be changed to gain a little more speed, but, it a give take situation. More speed, less power on take off. If, it have power trim this too can be adjusted for more speed after your boat get planed off. I usually trim up for a good RPM without the Prop trying to Cavatate.

definatly wont go faster than that...how large is the boat? 85 hp really isn't a lot. and if the outboard is a 1979 it's days are numbered

31 sounds very reasonable for your boat. i have a 60 on a much lighter boat and and it only does 26. ( speed also depends on the weight you carry on board.)

The rpm around 5500 hundred.Remember the yr of the horses are a little tired so run hard won't run long.
