[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 456895, member: 22613"] I'm guessing 170 means 17ft? If so, that's a lot of boat for a 25. As mentioned, move two batteries up front. You likely have too much weight in the back, it can make more of a difference than you can imagine. I moved one battery from the back to the front of my 1448, it went from plowing at 11mph to planing nicely at 17mph Next I would get a tach rigged up, see what RPMs you are running WOT. It might be worthwhile to try a lower pitch prop, since you're running a small motor with a heavy load. [/QUOTE]
