[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 428655, member: 9169"] Not sure if that's the case or not. Would think I would be getting some cavitation if so, which I do not experience. I think the bottom of my hull just isn't smooth like it used to be and is causing excessive drag while on plane. I'll get some pictures when I have the chance of my hull bottom. The dent in the center chine is fairly significant. There are a few others here and there that may or may not be causing some drag as well. I can't imagine it's water logged foam because with 3 guys and hunting gear I was getting better top end then I am now without all that weight. Nothing else has changed with my setup either. Motor runs great and the impeller is properly shimmed and in good shape along with my liner. My boat does run better with a passenger in the back and I fished by myself 90% of the time last year. So I may be over reacting a bit, but it definitely doesn't have the performance it use to. [/QUOTE]
