Location: minocqua, wi. | when you trim that boat out you should get 5200 rpm's ... and top speed around 47-48mph on the gps. if the motor is buried in the water you will lose rpm's huge. so, it sounds like you might be able to solve it by propping it differently and then finding the spot on the trim dial that peaks the rpm's.
i'm hopeful obviously that you don't have a problem that's bigger, but that motor and boat jump out and get flat fast which was my main interest for waters i fish ... trimmed it's always been fast enough, but it's no 55mph + motor/boat combination and never was, but then i don't spend that much time on really big water and don't drive over 40ish much at all.
