2018 F50 on a 16' aluminum fishing boat.
Been playing with engine height, started on the second hole, I am on the 4th hole up now, I run a 6'' setback, still doesn't blow out at full trim and got to 30.5 before I pulled the throttle back because it was spinning 6200 and climbing slowly.
I am running an 11x11 prop and on the 3rd hole it was right at 6000 and 30mph so I need to drop rpm by 500 or so.
Better to go bigger pitch or a bigger diameter?
