    Drop on top end speed.

    I am running a nitro z9 with rapid plane hull a pro xs 250 with a fury 25 prop and a manual jackplate. When I am alone in boat runs like a top 73 mph and nose pointed up on plane. I add my partner or 200 lbs and lose 9 MPh and nose of boat points down and spray is now at consoles. What can I do?

    Sounds like your jackplate is too high,drop it 1/4",sounds like the extra weight is making your prop lose bite

    Dangerous way to run 60+. Either the plate needs to come down or you need and 4 blade to grab with a heavy load.

    Sounds like your Fury prop cannot carry the bow when loaded. Try some other props like a Tempest that can carry a load a little better. Four blade props may create more stern lift and that may not help in your case.
