Thanks Gus - my set was wrong I have the motor mounted too high on the jack plate I was at 49mph on gps and she was at 8000 rpm and she had plenty of juice but the 24 pitch chopper was blowin out bad at 3/4 throttle ( I just examined the prop today 7-28 the prop was spinning on the hub ) I'm gonna try a 26 pitch cleaver prop tomorrow if I have time ( plus in the pic I did a NO NO I thought she would porpus bad like my last boat so I put a 70 lb sand bag in the nose well she wouldn't stand up at all I got the start of chine walkin once but only for 2 secounds
