Just found this site and i must say i am impressed. I purchased a rude off of craigslist for my 12 ft mirro v- hull. I was shocked that i could not plane this boat out, the nose rode high. I purchased a stinray jr, hydrofoil and that brought me on plane but barely at 8-9 mph. I then found on here to try a jack plate, which i welded up and i know am in the 10-12 mph. The swamp i run this boat in has a lot of stumps that when i hit the motor kicks out of gear. Is this suppose to, or does something need to be adjusted. My question is does this speed seem appropriate? Teh boat is bare and weighs maybe 80# and i weigh 220#. I bought a new used prop off of ebay that i havn't tried yet. Is there a fuel filter on motor? To me this motor seems doggy. The current prop is a 8x8.5 prop. The motor seems to run fine, it starts easy, but at certain throttle ranges it hesitates a little.
