Well that is a cheaper solution to the problem you are having but as others have mentioned, changing your prop will likely fix the problem, especially since you already have a Hydrofoil. This was an issues I had years ago on an older boat that had a smaller motor like yours. Do you know what the pitch is on your prop? There are several prop repair shops in SLC that can help you with this problem. Just Google Prop repair and call a couple of them up, a lot of times they will have rebuilt props, that are cheaper than buying new ones. You can buy used props for 75 to 90 dollars, new ones are around $140, this is for aluminum props. You do need to know what pitch your prop is before calling, so they will have an idea what size you will need to get your boat up on plane, especially at higher altitude.
