[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 433166, member: 432"] Could be a few things. First, it could be normal since there is more weight in the boat it may be just enough to keep it from planing causing the motor to not reach its rated RPM since it is having more resistance from the water not moving fast enough by the prop. I have noticed there is a limit of weight and when you exceed that weight the performance can drop drastically. It may plane and run fine at one weight and then add 15 pounds and it refuses to move. The oily water may be a result of the motor not being worked that hard before and creating forces on the prop shaft and seals causing it to leak. Second, it may be the weight and balance of the items in the boat. Move things around and see if that helps. All in all I would bet my first guess would be the most probable cause. [/QUOTE]
