[QUOTE="GYPSY400, post: 503325, member: 8599"] It looks like you simply have too much weight. I'm guessing you have a 24V bow mount, which is overkill. I run a 55lb 12v motor and it's plenty for my 16ft decked out V-hull. So you could eliminate 1 battery that way by going down to a 12v motor. You can also verify that the motor is in the right RPM range by getting a tach and then adjusting the prop pitch accordingly ( new prop). The motor might sound like it's revving out, but it could be too low to reach peak power. From there it's weight distribution and trim angle. [/QUOTE]
