    2015 Basscat Jaguar with a Mercury 350 Verado Slow out of the hole and top end is 50

    This boat had a 400r on her then it got changed to a 350, I bought her about a month ago.

    2B202272 2015 Mercury 350 Verado

    Have used the following--Fury 26p, Tempest 27p, Bravo XS 26p.

    The boat just doesn't want to come up on pad.--(Not sure 50 is fast enough to get her on pad??)

    Any idea's??

    What RPM's is the engine turning at WOT? Water presssure at WOT?

    It's very likely that you have an engine problem (or the setup is WAY off).

    When the boat takes off and I have the throttle at full, the prop will cavitate when the bow "breaks over", the RPM hits near 6300. I didn't check the water pressure.

    So you're not even getting on plane (at all)- just blowing out on holeshot?

    She blewout then gets on plane--I am pretty sure we got her fixed. Too much motor in the water.

    I can only speak from the 250 Verado Pro perspective. I run a Phoenix 921, and I believe I run about 2" ptp, maybe even 1.5". I run Bravo props, and that setup likes to run higher in general. More walk and just less performance the deeper the motor/prop.
