Thanks, ill give it a try. Trim tabs down or neutral?

so, just got back from a test run. 3k rpm was the ticket. Comes up on plane super nice now. Thank you for the help. I still want to try out a 5 blade and maybe get my cruising rpm down a little. Save a little gas 😂

i just ordered a 5 blade mercury max 30. Found used in great shape low balled a guy for $750 and he took it. Good for a test at least. If my 525 won’t spin it might have to add that whipple 😂.

well, she is blonde.OP if your spinning a 28 4 blade 5100 you'll be hard pressed to spin that 5 blade.jmo.and they will break drives

Awesome. Glad that helped you. Save gas?? Then you're in the wrong sport! 😂 Did you try to open it up too? Tell you what, if that Max 30 doesn't work, I'll buy it for $750. Just LMK.

Did the dart board reference go unnoticed ?

Am I missing something? RPMs are going to come up when a boat comes up on plane! Once it is up on top there is less boat in the water, less resistance, less load and rpms rise. Also when figuring slip remember a Bravo 28 is closer to a 27.

Throwing darts can be painful.
