OK gents here is an update.
Last night I took both pros, all my gear, 6gallons of gas, bad a friend. We when to mantua (free) to mess with props and engine angle/pitch? After adding the deck in the front I never checked to see if prop and pitch where set up right.
I fist tried all pitch/tilt of engine with original prop(9 1/4 x 10). This seemed to do the trick. I had to put the motor tilted the farthest from my boat but the engine seemed to wind all the way out. The boats nose was more up in the air never really planed out but the engine ran great. How to get it to plane more and still keep the speed?
With all the weight I had, the boat ran at 14 mph.
I then tested the other prop 9 x 11. This engin never wound out on any pitch/tilt of the engine.
I was wondering wiperhunter2 mentioned a 9 x 9 prop. Would that make me go faster?
One more question. When going to higher elevation do I need to go richer Or leaner with my carb adjustment?
Thanks for all the info and help.
