79 rude 140 took it out today and bay was running 2 ft waves, 25 mph, worse if faster,bow comes back down prop looses traction, engine revs up,
had it in a smoother section and at wot it was 42 mph at 5300rpm's,still climbing and prop looses traction again, this is with trim all way down,if up its worse, I noticed cavitation plate is 1" above the bottom of boat,is this a problem?all gear and fuel in back!! boat is junk,looking for another boat to put my engine on,but want to use this one untill I find another boat,is there a prop I can purchase to solve this issue? or is the height a problem??if so,would it be better even with the bottom or 1" below the bottom with the problem Im having???
