I have a 1979 17' Glasply w/ a Volvo Penta 140a engine (125 hp). The boat runs good with 2 people in it but has
a hard time getting up on plane with more than 2. We have to sit on the front of the boat to get on plane. Once it is up it stays up. I have gone through all the maintenance on the boat ie... new plugs, wires, points etc.
My question is I am running A 14x17 prop which will run the motor to 5200 wot, would a 14X15 prop help with getting the boat on plane?
Any ideas?
