Ok so do you think I should remove the hydrofoil? What about that spare motor hanging off the back you think that would cause bad hole shot and high slip? Also the cuddly has quite a bit of gear in it, that's also a lot of weight there and I also carry a small zodiac up on the bow only about 80-100 pounds. I also had a full tank of gas at the time two! Just trying to think of anything that might help explain the high slip! As I said I don't care for a lot of top end speed just a little better hole shot and lower rpm if possible!!! Thanks for the help!!
