1997 29 fever ?
 
I'm in the process of buying a 29 fever twin 454 efi. Boat comes out of the hole pretty slow is their anything I can do to help this it has hydromotive 4 blade props. No cavitation just slow and bow very high after it planes out runs pretty good. Don"t know pitch yet still in buying process.

My 32 plains out fairly quick and level. Were the tabs and drives both all the way down? That'll make a for a slow, nose high take off if not.

I have a 1991 Fever with twin 454's and it comes out of the hole very fast. I always put the drives all the way down, but I never touch the tabs. There is no need.

I agree that boat should hop out of the hole, however what are you comparing it too??? If you previously had a inboard ski boat like a Mastercraft and I/O will be slow.

Just make sure drives are all in, tabs down, about half throttle maybe 3/4, and you should be up.

the prop pitch can definitely affect that. I have a 98 fever same setup, I was having same problem so I changed props.....
