I'm sorry for all of these questions but am getting some answers that are just raising more questions:<br /><br />I bought the engine separate from the boat (12" Olympian), and wonder if maybe the engine is the problem, not its HP. How much of the engine should be below the bottom of the hull? How do I know what my engine's shaft length is (what part do I measure)? How do I know if the propellor that came with it, is the right propellor (maybe just getting the right propellor (assuming the one that is on it is wrong) would solve my problems. My biggest complaint about the boat, is that it is so slow. It will not plane, and I see others with similar boats skipping along, and all mine does is stick the bow up in the air. So, if I get a different engine, how do I make sure I get the right one?
