[QUOTE="bbot1967, post: 495466, member: 27350"] That 25hp motor might be a smidge under optimal power for the boat so don't through out the idea of getting a little bigger motor with T&T this time. I try for the max rating of the boat. Yeah, more money at some things vs others, everyone can't do that. Whale tails help lift the back to get on plane easier but they're a nuisance and I'd consider it a last resort. I seen others feel the same. Composite propeller might help you out here. They have their shortfalls, worst I think don't ever hit anything it, but I've found on one of my boats for it to be a huge deal. Smaller diameter than the original stainless that I keep as backup but 4 blades instead of 3. A lot more torque for getting on plane quick and easy plus in my case more speed as well. This was for a boat rated 90hp but I only have 70hp. [/QUOTE]
