High Rpm but no loss of power/speed. Running at 5000-8000 rpm when cruising and full out. Is this a intake or impeller issue?

I see you edited your post. Are you having a problem with this boat? 5K when cruising (I assume 25 mph is "cruising") and 8K when full out (50 mph+) is pretty normal. Are you saying you have speed/power problems?

Haven’t tried towing anything yet this year. But I don’t recall the rpm being that high especially without a water skier or a tube with a few kids.
it seems to have power. It’s had yearly service. Never had any repairs on it yet. 20-30 hrs use per year.

My 230 runs about the same, 5-6k cruising and pegged out with hammer down. How the boat is loaded down and amount on fuel will impact rpms a bit too.
