Re: Transmissions
Need more info. Are you trimmed all the way down? Are you going slow on the throttles? How does the tranny fluid smell/look? Reverse work ok? Do you know if you have Borge Warners or Merc Transmisions?

Re: Transmissions
That boat should pop right up with that power. I agree with Jon, we need more info. It sounds like you might have slipping trany's but who knows.... Those wheels sound like they're just about right. What kind are they, 3 blade, 4 blade, etc?

Re: Transmissions
As lofty said; Sumptin ain't right here. That power; those props; (whatever style) you should pop right up. Does it over-rev, or bog down, or what? --- Jer
