[QUOTE="meonline06, post: 319293, member: 8570"] I would definitely recommend getting yourself a tachometer. That will help you figure out if you have the right prop on there. I just picked up a Trail Tech Tachometer off ebay for $40 last week. You may want to try installing a hydrofoil on the motor. They are relatively inexpensive. I have ran my boat with and without one and it planes far better with it. It helps me get on plane faster and my bow is lower on plane as well. A jackplate could also help you raise the motor up so the cavitation plate is level with the hull bottom. [/QUOTE]
