Sorry to hear about the troubles
Takes some of the fun out of a new boat. Dosen't sound like anything that cannot be fixed.
I am curious what kind of slip numbers you were getting versus what you expected ?

WOW....25% does seem high. What props and drive ratios are on the 382 ?
This whole thing of prop slip is of a lot of interest to me. My boat weighs 10,500 - 11,500 depending on fuel, water, people etc. With a set of stock 32's, I range from 13% to 17% slip. I know that "labbing" the props will increase the slip numbers, but will also increase the speed.
Just curious what you are experiencing relative to my experience.
