I currently have a 16' 2003 Fishrite Sled with a 4stroke Yamaha 40jet/60prop currently mounted on it. The problem I have run into that is that i can plane no problem with 2 people and once it planes out it runs smooth with no problems. When I have 3 people I have a hard time planing and I have adjusted the weight distribution to the front of the boat to help plane out better. I have also had the impeller 3blade sharpened and was advised it would make a big difference on the 3 blade, but have not noticed any significant improvement....My next approach is seeing if its worth on switching it out to a 4bladed stainless and see if it will give me the "giddy up" speed that i need to plane out. I have thought about even gettting a bigger motor, I have even looked at a 65hp or 70hp in a 4 stroke, but have been told they dont make them anymore and would have to wind up buying a used 2 stroke, which i dont want to...Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
