Hi.. I am bran new to this forum.. I just purchased this boat at auction and found that it has been sitting for several years.. I filled with gas and it started right up.. Took her for a ride today with my wife and everything went smoothly.. except that it felt like the prop was sucking air... RPMs went to 5000 with a reported speed of 30MPH? it actually felt slower than this.. I had a backfire upon acceleration and intermittently as we rode.. One thing to note.. the PROP was a 14.75 x 19.. and it has one of the fins slightly bent(1/8 - 3/16") in middle of blade.. Could this cause the sucking air feeling and lack of speed?
I have a SS 14.25 x 21... what affect would this have on my ride? It is in great shape....
Also.. do I need a puller to remove the existing PROP?
Thanks in advance..
