I have a 10'2" AVON Rover circa 1996 in great condition, bought used, with an Evinrude 8hp 2-stroke outboard also in excellent condition. 8hp is the max rating for this boat with inflatable floor. I'm finding it difficult to get on plane, sounds like the motor is sucking air, as if the boat isn't rigid enough to make water flow underneath correctly.
Does anyone have any experience with this or advice, tips, etc? I wonder if I'm putting enough air in the floor? If not, how do I gauge the psi when filling up these tubes? Is there a meter I can purchase? Thanks for any help!
