Hi
I asked you last year about my propeller choice.
Last season I did 57 mph 4900 rpm with Mirage 23
The engine is a single 496 HO
This winter I remounted the engine 2 inches higher.
The engine performs like
56 mph 4900 rpm with Mirage 23 AND the boat is haveing problems to lift from the water.
Any idees what to do. I am also cavatating if I do sharp turns.
Would a 4 blade Bravo (24) solve my problem.
It feels like there is much power in the engine
that just throws water up in the air instead of lifting the boat up and getting that last 5-6 mph.
Any comments are appriciated.
