    97 191dc prop?

    A friend of mine recently purchased a beautiful 97 191 with 200 mariner and a 12 foot talon with a 36 volt fortrex. The boat came with a 23 pitch trophy and four medium vent plugs and a weed ring. With a full tank of gas and the two of us average size guys it wiuldnt getout of the hole so i pulled two of the plugs and it works but its still doesnt seem right. What are all your thoughts on this setup??

    When you setup a boat your rule is take it too far and bring it back.
    So with your plugs, start yanking them out until it blows out and put the last combo back in. They only way to know what just right is, is to find out what too much is.

    So..."Not right" is pretty vague, lugging along, high bow lift, takes too long?
    You have a lot of weight on that boat it was never designed for.
