[QUOTE="flatboat, post: 343624, member: 5508"] Check your motor height. Cavitation pate should be flush with bottom . With most boats you need a small block under the motor to get it right . There is a lot of drag if it is to low . I've had 7 boats everyone has had to be raised to get it right . Use a tac to check rpm's Buy prop that runs at the top of the top of that range , the guys that build them tell you where they run the best . Every boat is different it takes time and effort to get things right on your boats setup , weight distribution is very important In small boats if it's wrong it's a barge , if it's right it's a rocket , speed is the indicator of correct set up . If you increase from 16 to 23 mph with proper set up think how you have increased you mpg . That's why you bought the new motor to go faster with better economy .... As always just my opinion [/QUOTE]
