    Don't fill both live wells. Get a three blade prop. Cut some gas holes in your existing prop. Does it blow out or just lug? Get a smaller partner.

    If it bogging down it needs more venting. Does that prop have adjustable vents or not. If not send it to a prop guy and have PVS vent holes bored in it so you can adjust the venting on take off. How many rpm's can you turn the 26" prop at WOT now? It could be you need a 25" prop but it sounds like a venting problem.
