Hi - I recently purchased the boat 3 weeks ago and have had it out 5-6 time now. This past weekend we went out and it seemed like the boat was slipping, almost like the tramsmission on car slips. It would run three different ways:
1 - start off slowly and eventually reach 35 - 40 mph
2 - start slowly but top out at ~10 mph, then if I gave it more gas it would just sit there, like something was slipping.
3 - start slowly but not move at all, the motor just ran up the rpms, like it was slipping.

Acouple time if I put it in reverse then back into forward it seemed to work but once I slowed down again it would act up.

Any help would be great! :cool:

Sounds like the impeller on the jet pump is slipping or you have picked up some debris that's blocking water flow to the impeller. I would this would be a common problem with jets in shallow and weedy water.
