I just got done fighting cancer and it's time to fish again. I found a used 1998 Lund 1600 Pro Sport Adventure series with a 60 hp Yamaha. I do not think it's set up right. It came with a 19 pitch prop. I took it to the lake and was only able to manage 3000 rpm and unable to get on plane.
I went to a 15 pitch got about 3600 so dropped down to a 14X13 and am up around 4600 and 22 mph.
I feel the boat is capable of better, am I expecting to much? I drained all the gas out when I bought it and replaced it with fresh and have always run conditioner in it. I found a leak in the fuel supply line and fixed it. Checked the fuel filter and it was clean. I put in brand new plugs. Old ones did not look bad, but just trying to cover all the bases. Motor is set to lowest position with cavitation plate even to bottom of hull?? Should I try raising it a notch?
I am hoping to drag it to MN and LOW or Rainey lake this summer but want it to be running right. Any suggestions or thoughts will be appreciated.
