I put thousands of road miles on a Keith Craft 408 with 531 fwhp and 539 tq.
3.55 gears .64 overdrive 3550 and 26" tires.

cruise all day at 2,000 and would go as low as 1,300 in 5th. We would laugh at how low it would cruise and not go into the "trailer hitch jerks".

If the motor has the correct cam and it is tuned correctly you should not have a problem cruising at 2,000 or a little less.
