It could be that the motor was mounted too high. Did you call the dealer where you bought it?


Swinging by there later on in the day. Didn't get any pictures of how the rear sits in the water or any pictures of the rear at all.

Going to suck to have to drive all the way out to the lake house, grab the trailer, drive out to the launch, pull the boat out, then drive all the way out to the dealer. Reason to buy a new one was to put the boat in the water and just ride it and not ever have to pull it out. Guess that ain't happening.

Trim it down fully. Get up to a decent speed. Trim up a bit. Go back and take a pic of the cavitation plate area and post it.

Get a pen and pad note your RPMS and speed at 1,000 1,500 2,000 all the way through the RPM range. That will help out anyone trying to decide on a prop for you.

You need to rip the guy a new one.....maybe get some free shite like extended, free service or something out of this.

well, there is not much that they can do with it at the dealership anyway. I would see if one of their mechanics can come to the lake where the boat is in the water to see what is going on.
