[QUOTE="foxtrot, post: 337262, member: 13069"] I just recently purchased my first boat. It is a 16ft Lowe Roughneck 1652vpt. and 2006 15 hp 4 str Merc. I took it mild winds and water that was wasn't glass but it wasn't choppy either. SO after I got it started, warmed it up I was on my way. I get in try and get on plane. No luck. We only had myself (280 lbs) dog (50 lbs) safety kit . I was prepared tho hit 15 if it totally sucked 20 was I expecting from anecdotal evidence and I would have been satisfied I guess I was hoping that I would hit 28 as some guy said he did. The propeller has some wear so I'll post that and maybe that Is a major source of the problem. The prop is a12p9 I wonder if I should put some money this motor and get it to work minimally then I'll repower later. Or I can just repower now and sell the merc as is.
