Keep the RPMs up for the best performance. Check the manual (or search here) to see what RPM works best.

I agree on the high RPMs. Our 2007 33' Yellowstone has the F53 chassis V10 engine. On climbs it doesn't always downshift so we will either floor it or manually down shift. It's very content (screaming) at higher rpms. We also have the Banks. We tow a Saturn VUE comfortably.
