Well.... im satisfied with the days answer. the same test conditions plus another passenger (60lbs) unloaded no speed change, loaded, max speed also no change. I was able to trim out to the second to furthest position while loaded, and the highest position unloaded with very little slip. I...

SO. I shimmed it up 3/4, if that helps but doesn't solve ill get jack plates, but there is a slight concave (from the bottom) curve to the hull, its probably 3/8 at worst and is gradual over the full 8 or 10 feet that is the flat portion of the boat, it terminates at the rear over about 3 feet...

Maybe this will work... https://postimg.cc/hXNYR7kL Note the image was taken at full out trim, usually it is nowhere near this level with the boat, if the boat is considered 0 degrees then the motor is pitched down 10 degrees where it runs most reliably. 7.5 is about where it gets the best...

Not sure the anatomy of an OB exactly, (as im sure you can tell by now), the lowest plate sits probably 1-2 below the bottom of the boat, while the top plate is about 3 above the bottom and skims the surface of the water on plane. 5" or so between them. Not sure how to add a pic, as its not...

I am aware of the different performance metrics of 3v4 blades, I was taking the word of the prop shop with the 3 blade. I thought the 3 blade would only worsen the problem, which, somewhat true. Everything im seeing says more pitch, but how does that help the grip issue? I'm fine with all else...

Hello, I'm Jaxon, 24, Nashville, I'm part owner of a home renovations company, a bit of a smart@$$, and generally try to be as helpful as I can be. I stopped by looking for some help with prop-ing my boat. Seems like a good bunch over here, lot cleaner than a lot of the forums Ive perused...

Hello all, I'm Jaxon, I found the forum several days ago on my search for the perfect prop, still haven't found it. I thought I'd register and see if I couldn't get some insight. My boat: Lowe L1648 (16' jon, 48"w) Engine: 06 Honda 20 short shaft (which, as far as im finding, is perfect for...
