This is the max motor able to put on this boat, max weight is 6 people or 650 lbs. The motor was in shop last year getting full tune up spark plugsand wires , carb cleaning, impeler and housing, lower unit oil and inspection , thermostats etc...cost me over 750$$. I took it out this year it was great hole shot top speed of about 46 mph, then it all started , one day it just started bogging down one time it just wouldn't go over 2000 rpm, and sometimes just sputters. ive tried ringfree additive new oil, water absorber in fuel tank new gas, checked fuel lines, now sometimes it works good reaching rpms of about 4400 is that normal when i rev in nuetral i think it goes to about 6000. does weight make an issue, had about 580 lbs in there, but picked up third guy at launch ran good as hell but on the way back same amount of weight, it wouldn't even reach plane, but when they got in the front it hit plane in a few seconds and took off, it;s on a 18ft fish and ski stratos. thanks for your help
