Hello, first of all I'd like to apologise if I don't use the correct boating terms to explain my issue.
I recently aquired a 1995 Crownline 225 CCR with a 350 magnum alpha one 400hrs. I took the boat out for the first time with family, we had 5 people on board including me. The issue that I am having is when I take off, the bow will not come down unless one of the passengers moves towards the front of the boat. I have my trim all the way down. I have it at fullThrottle, rpm doesnt go above 3500 nd it just won't accelerate any further until we shift some of the weight forward. Once that happens, it will level out and pick up speed no problem and it reve up no problem. I will get the specs of the prop soon. Do I need to replace the prop? If so, what prop should I get so I can fix this issue. Thanks
