I currently run a 2003 Crestliner fishhawk 1750 with a honda 115. Late last year I noticed that I was getting a lot more spray coming off the motor. The spray is coming from the cavitation plate and it appears its to low. The season before I didnt notice this and Im thinking I have moved some stuff to the rear and now have more weight near that pig of a motor.
I have always thought this boat was a bit touchy when it came to trim and would porpoise with the slightest bump in trim so maybe its always been borderline low. I also notice the boat is "squirrely" now when at full throttle which makes me think I have to much boat out of the water. All of this leads me to think I should raise the motor one hole, thoughts?
Oh its running around 43 mph at 5600-5800 rpms, I have hit 45 under perfect conditions and half tank of gas. All speeds GPS
I cant remember the prop Im running but Im thinking its a stock pitch in aluminum, I would take pics of the level of the engine but Im overseas and the boat is in the shop getting new carpet and a rear deck extension (which may add more weight to the rear).
