My boat blows out the prop very easy (38 ZR 525 ITS), you just have to get used to giving it some power slowly, when they start to blow out back off the throttle a little and let them bite, then slowly get back on the gas. If you are moving up from a smaller boat with less power, and used to just mashing the throttle, it will take some getting used to. Don't think yours is a stepped hull, but if it is having too much tabs on takeoff can raise the stern and make them blow out easier, so try it with just a little tabs and it may help. On mine if my tabs are down more than 4 it makes planing much tougher. Good luck, enjoy the new boat! You will find this website a wealth of information, welcome aboard!

all good advice but I would go down to the Sonic Owners Forum and post this question.....the 31' owners are great with all their knowlege on props and how the boat reacts to different styles of props.......being a Sonic owner this doesn't sound normal to me.......my 35' gets up on plane real fast with no blowout or spinning.......all I do is put the tabs and drives down and she is up and away........good luck with the new ride, once you get it dialed in you will love it........but I am sure you already do..........and post some pics please.........
