Alx, I remember when you bought that boat. Wasn't it on LASM classifieds or something?
Yup.

I really just need to get a 4 blade since this thing is never going to go fast. I bet that would help it turn.

Lol...50 is a fast 19' bay boat, man. We bought something called trim extenders that when installed, allowed the motor to be trimmed up a bit more. That helped us get to the proper RPM with the 19 pitch prop with mild tip cup, and increased speed. I don't remember where we got em, but when we first got the boat, we couldn't get enough rpm with that prop.
As far as it sticking, I don't know what to tell you. I do know a 4 blade will stick better and allow better hole shot, but it'll kill speed.

Trim extenders...$27 at BPS
