Hi I currently own a 96 175 FastStrike; model # J175GLEDB serial # G04061097. I used to get 62-64 mph tourney loaded at 5600-6000 rpm's. About a year ago I had transom work done so they had to take the motor off. Since then; not sure exactly when problem started; Ive had a loss of tyop end speed; now running 55-57mph and 5200-5400 rpm's with a noticeable difference in hole shot with live wells full. I'm turning a 14 1/2 X 24 Raker that had some nicks (not bad ) but had it fixed. No difference in performance. Motor height is 2 3/4 ". Should I start with a copression check. Any suggestions PLEASE.
