Ok well it had stopped dripping so I don't think that's the cause! Any other ideas?

While I feel a healthy 4.3 should make at least 40 with a 19" prop it appears you need a 17".
It may help the slip numbers but it may gain 400 rpm at wot.
If the Hydrofoil is still on it could be causing some of that slip.

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!!
