The Boat/Engine Liability Saga Enters A New Phase (Page 3): I think people buy boats that have marginal performance issues and they don't know it isn't right.

Wishing you the best! If a propeller fixes this, that would be great!!! I am surprised that dealership hasn't been able to fix the problem.

This is not an "I told you so", it's for optimism about changing the prop. If you remember all the way back to the first time you brought this up, I told you my Stratos had the same problems... that went away when I changed my prop. Fingers crossed dude!

Yep...they are way more critical to performance than a lot of people are aware of

I got a Solas 4 blade 19p, they seem to be known for reducing or eliminating blowout on turns and improving trim performance...this model has a solid mid range performance in terms of fuel efficiency and speed to rpm...better control...my fingers are crossed

I had plans to go out Friday to either Amador or Pardee, but my Aunt in Grass Valley died this morning so I told my uncle I'd go stay with him for a few days.

I hope your prop change is as successful as mine. Now the only time I have the problem is when I over trim. Just want to mention that I also put one of those after market kits with the oversized fins for the lower unit. Planes so much faster.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Nothing more important than being there for your Uncle right now.

I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt, I hope that your Uncle's OK. It's gotta be really hard to lose a spouse.
We're all waiting with baited breath to know whether the new prop improves things!
