Contacted a old friend who is a marine mechanic(forgot).He has a lower end as we speak is being checked and is ok.
He will change the water pump,change my prop from a 13 3/4 21 to a 19.This will give me better low end as I believe not losing to much top end because of slightly higher rpm's.I believe the constant struggle to get on plane did not help my situation.The boat would only get about 3000rpm at take off,and about 3700 flat out,but that would be moving along at quite a good clip(45mph plus).This will cost me $650 with a 90 day warranty.
What do you guys think?good deal?
All I have to do is install the complete drive in one piece.
