Just 2 people in the boat and 1/2 tank of fuel. As soon as it starts planing off i'm trimming it up but the boat likes to porpose then. trim tabs are set out in the middle i found it to be the smoothest ride there. I got a 24 coming from a memeber that was nice enough to help me out and trade him for mine

Do you have problems planing? What rpm's are you running WOT?

Well, I just bought a 2000 checkmate 259 convincor and took it out for the 1st time this week end. Its got the 502 magnum 415hp motor and a mirage 25p 3 blade prop. I was very disappointed in the performance. Everytime you take off and its starts to plane off the prop slips/cavitates and you have to back the throttle down then get back into it. secondly its only pulling about 4300rpm to. It seams very slow from a dead stop. Is this a problem with the prop? what do you guys recommend? any help
