More HP and prop blowout

I have added lots of HP many times in my boating life and have never changed the attitude of the boat. getting on plane was always better because of the higher torque.
didn't you ask this same question earlier?
Sounds to me like something external to the hull has changed,
going with a shorter drive will not help getting on plane.
any chance their is water under the floor in the bow?

Agree with tinkerer. Something has changed water flow across bottom of boat or around drive.Got to be frustrating

I'm thinking that's what the plan will be and see what happens...that is when all the ice is off the lakes lol
The labbed 30 I have is cupped a little I guess...I bought it used but that may help as well
I do also have a call into brett at bblades to get his take as well

idk, as others have stated it should get on plane with the original prop, has to be something else.

You say that you replaced a lot of wood.
Have you put a straight edge on the bottom of the boat.
Sounds like you may now have a hook in the bottom.
when people replace stringers with the boat on a trailer one of the problems they have is keeping the hull straight.

What did you change when you did the rotted wood. A little bit of weight in the bow makes a huge difference.
OR
If the new power is a lot heavier, may try adding weight to the bow. Sounds ridiculous but maybe you took out too much weight. Throw 2 or 3 batteries in your cuddy.

It’s the prop had the same issue! Added more HP and ran the old prop to see where I was at, would not get on plan very well at all, would not trim or turn with out major blow out. Changed the prop and I was back in business. Hopefully it’s the same with yours. Change the prop and run it again!
