I own a 1987 Ranger bass boat. It has a 1986 Johnson 200. The previous owner told of problem with the boat falling on its face after takeoff. I found that the fuel pump was leaking when the fuel bulb was primed. Fuel pump was replaced and mechanic checked coils and compression. He said all seemed well for a motor of this age. My problem is when the boat is under full throttle conditions it will not move on out. The bow raises up and when you hit the trim the engine will trim up and then falls back down. Is this normal? On the other hand the boat really churns up the water, it runs about 3000-3500rpm but it only runs about 15-20 miles an hour. I need help on this. Here are the specs. Model# J200STLCDR,<br />Serial# G7161335 19 Foot Ranger 393, Prop has these numbers 13 1/4 x 27pp, 431719. <br />All help is greatly appreciated.
