[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 475159, member: 22989"] Dont feel dumb, I have been setting my boat up for over a year now and Im still not done. :oops: With a 540lb boat and equipment youre looking at near or over 1000lbs on the water. IMO thats a lot of weight for a 15hp motor to plane. The prop jump you took may have been to large, but the real question is how low below the bottom of the hull is your cavitation plate? The motor being a long shaft could be part of the problem. Is this similar to your boat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXwDIOTqNEo [/QUOTE]
