you could put extended hubs on the props that you have now. or you could try a different set of props like some 5 blade maximus if you're not concerned about the top in number being a few miles per hour slower

1. Drives tucked and tabs at 5.5-6
2. Run boat up to approx 3200-3500 rpm's...it should still be hooking and gaining speed and beginning to try to plane.
3. As boat picks up speed (17-19MPH) gradually start bump up tabs till it breaks over....gradually apply throttle to about 4000rpms till it fully breaks over and hooks.
It takes our 42 a LONG time to get up on plane...lol.
