I have a 2005 Harris Flotebote 270 Crowne with a 140 hp 4 stroke. The problem I'm having is its slow. The prop GODS are saying it has a over 30% prop slip, Based on the weight of the pontoon and the load onboard. What can throw these numbers off is water in the toons. If I have water in the toons thats alot more weight. So, how do you check for water in the toons. The pontoons are 27 ft long and seem to have 4 seperate compartments. Are there plugs somewhere? Sitting in the water it is flat and level on all sides. the motor weight is 420 lbs and does not seem to lift the bow any. Nor does three grown men standing on the bow or the stern. The boat stays level with about 1/3 of the pontoons under water. Thanks Nutinbitin
