Well I go to take the motor in to change the prop. The previous prop did fine for 1 person in the boat. So with the same mechanic we went out in the boat with the current prop and it would hardly get on plane with both of us sitting on the back seat. Changed to I think a 9 x9 (will have to look at the numbers again and this prop popped us out of the water pretty quick but lost top speed. Now only able to do 20 mph at around 6200 rpm's Over Revs fast but should be ok with my load of a family in the boat. Hope to see how it does in a week or so fully loaded. Story continued.
