Dave what outdrives do you have? Alpha, Bravo I, II, III?

Does the engines hit 3000 rpm before you run out of throttle?
Right now I am thinking either wrong prop pitch or wrong drive gear ratio. Do you know the prop dia and pitch, should be stamped on them? Drive ratio?

If only 7 inches they are not BII's as it swings around a 18" prop. The issue would be with the wrong pitch.

Post some picture of the drives if you can or engine cal that showing S/Ns

Dave your other post said 21 not 22 and since you listed that number first without saying (p) I took it as the diameter as this is the normal way prop sizes are listed, dia, pitch.

Seem like you need to drop the pitch from 22 to 17 but let's see what other with the same set up say
