[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 33553, member: 367"] Have you checked your throttle linkage to make sure your getting WOT ? Also will a 4 blade prop have more drag from friction than a 3 blade ? My Sea Ray is a mutt , Its I/O merc with a v-8 chev and with 3 or 4 in the boat and full fuel/water tanks it has a hard time getting up on plane. I have a 4 blade prop I could put on it but logic seems like it would have more drag ?? I'm thinking I should start shopping for a SS prop. Update- From my experience a dinged up prop will gain RPM and lose top end because it doesn't "hook up" as good. [/QUOTE]
