Need some Opinions, I added Imco SC lowers and boat won't plane
I have Twin Step 42 Tiger that has Imco SCX uppers that had XR lowers. I recently added Imco SC lowers. I have 1" spacers in with standard length lowers. I had the same set up with the XR's. I am also running a 32p 4 blade Bravo one prop. The boat got on plane fairly easy before the change, now it starts to bite and then it just blows out. I can get it on plane by using the tabs, but it takes a bit still. My question why is this happening? I switched the lowers because my slip #'s were high before and the thought was that the XR lower was causing the problem. The boat pulls like a freight train in the mid range. Just a point of reference I have offshore pick ups on the boat as well but they were on before the change. Any thoughts?
