[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 319059, member: 7537"] Hey bucket, is the cavitation plate 4" below the water line? If so the engine needs to be raised so the cavitation plate is level with the bottom of the boat. I am not sure about the prop, but I would bet the correct pitch 3 blade prop will make a huge difference. Does the motor run good? I would get a cheap tac and see what rpms your getting at WOT. I still need to do the same for my engine so I can get the correct prop to weight ratio. If that is a 20hp motor it should easily plane the boat out. [/QUOTE]
