hi all , i am considering buying a 1996 maxum 2400scr cruiser, the price is right but when i took it out for a sea trial today it would not get up on plane?? it has a 5.7l mercruiser alpha 1 and has 350 hrs on the meter, it's a stock set up. the engine sounds good and idles nice, we got up to 3600 rpm and it wouldn't get up on plane only 2 of us on board and he even went to the bow to try to get it up! it has been sitting for 9 months with no use except to start the engines and it is moored in salt water outside of seattle (moderately cold weather ) . could bottom barnicles etc. be the cause or?? any ideas? the sale price is 10k with a roller galv trailer. any ideas?
thanks
dave
