Glog...I take it I must be sounding like an idiot right about now. See, when I started having this problem I brought it in to the local dealership and they had it for 10 days going thru it and they said the motor was perfectly fine...ran great in the tank and no codes were set. I asked them if they could water test it but they assured me tank testing puts more of a load on the motor than being out on the water. So the prop was the next in line, pitch down with the prop to make up for any unknown weight/balance/power differences? And heck I could try a demo prop for $25. Geez I've had all kinds of thoughts trying to figure out whats different. I thought maybe my buddy gain a little too much weight? Or the boat hull is water logged or the motor is worn out? But at this point I am pretty convinced there is something wrong with the motor regardless what the shop says. Good point on the fuel tips...I will try them out asap. Thanks. By the way...what did it take to get your custom prop?
