Location: Contrarian Island | a few thoughts...
2nd guy placement: was the 2nd person in the boat in the same spot / chair they always sit in ? I have found if the guy in my boat is sitting in the far back vs. say sitting on the front deck extension i get more speed trimmed up.
Gas tank: yes, I think mine definitely runs faster between 1/3 and 2/3rds full...over 2/3rds it is just too much weight... under 1/3 I don't get the "bite" I need....we have 42 gallon tanks i think so you are talking about 250 lbs of weight when full...that's one big dude sitting up on the bow!
Altitude: maybe google altitude of both places you run/ran the boat...if there is for example a 1000 ft difference that can greatly impact HP and performance....
sounds like you should run it at half a tank and leave that prop on tho!
