I have a Aq125 / 270 in a 17.5 ' double eagle, very heavy boat purchased it three years ago finally got her in the water
The problem it takes me half the lake and all morning with the girl friend paddling to get her to plane the top speed is 26 mph at 3000 rpm. I am ok with 26 mph its the holeshot that doesn't exist.
I am suspecting I have the wrong prop I cannot find any markings on the prop to determine pitch, the prop diam is 13". The engine is fresh, new 2bbl roch carb and pertronix ign, runs like a top. Volvo specs; max rpm 5100 cruising about 4400
any ideas.
