Purchased the boat 2 months ago. Before fishingpoles anchor tackle box(not much tackle) the gauge said 38 mph at 5-5100ish. Installed trim tabs. (Middle hole) Ran aground once. Now the family calls it the no go zone. Was 4 inch deep and hit it at 30. Dead stop. Lifted motor and oar pushed back. Was able to hit 37 mph around 5k. (This time gps.) Today. I couldn't do past 32. Same load just couldn't power past 3/4 throttle or it felt like I was cavitating badly. Trim up or down and I slowed down to 28. Holeshot seems weak. Dead stop and it takes a few seconds to fully "go" seems like a slipping clutch. Gonna mark the prop when I get home. 10 lures lost today. Omw to get more then back out i go. Cant hit 5200 rpm anymore.

Just had fully serviced. New lines carbs rebuilt... all sorts of "new" that I am finding not true. (Was very clean looking and carbs do look freshly soaked/cleaned) not gonna comp test. Motor runs sound i feel its prop related.
I have a 21p on there should i go down to 19? Trying to stay under 150 for a prop. Vaca in 2 weeks makes for no funds...
