The water levels at my lake have finally dropped enough for the No Wake on the Lake restriction to be removed. So I head out to fish this morning and take the GPS out with me to see what kind of speed I will get. My 1457 with the 9.9hp on it would do over 20 mph with just me in it. I understand that the 1467WT is heavier. But I figured with the 15 I should be doing somewhere around 15 mph+. NOT EVEN CLOSE. At WOT the best I was able to get was a death defying 7 mph. :twisted: I tried moving stuff to the bow, different trim levels ect. No change. At a high idle (in the start position) I got 5 mph. Boat will not come up on plane.
So I will be dropping it off at the dealer this afternoon. Told them to fix what ever is wrong. Pretty sure it has the wrong prop on it, but can not read the marking on the prop so I can not tell for sure and I am not going to bother doing the math. Should have the proper prop on it when it left the store.
