[QUOTE="Tbradley, post: 475915, member: 9883"] I agree, I'd check this first! If the intake is hanging below the bottom of the hull it's dragging in the water, which is going to hurt performance. My buddy with the Alweld 1852 started out with a Tracker 1448 .100" hull with remote steer and rod/gun box with a Merc 25 jet, it wouldn't plane, but his problem was the dealer (which doesn't do jets) mounted the motor about an 1.5" too low. I tried to convince him to move the motor up, but he ended up taking the motor back to the dealer and ended up with a Merc 60/40, but then his boat was too small and I ended up talking in him to getting the Alweld 1852....much better. So long story short, check the intake with the bottom first. [/QUOTE]
