"hey there everyone. new to this forum and did a search but found nothing. anyway...
just bought my first boat a 1994 cajun ski/fish boat. i took it out for a test ride today. problem was that trying to gain speed wasn't happening. engine idles perfect, starts perfect. motor absoultley runs beautiful. when i accelerate it starts out fine, but as i increase the throttle the boat won't plane out and if it seems to die out. if i plane out it seems like the prop is disengaging/slipping. or seems like i'm hitting constant air pockets. now when the prop disengages i drop the throttle back it seems that the prop re-engages.
i talked to a few people and they said that it was a trim issue. which could be because it didn't seem to be working. but this boat should be screaming. it's a 120hp johnson outboard. any input would be greatly appreciated."
