Alright, today conditions finally allowed me to run my SV27 with my new 42x55 prop. I was getting a top speed of about 37 with the 40x52 today, and only got 39 with the new prop. I know it's supposed to go around 50+. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. After about a 2-3 minute run, I took the boat out of the water and there was smoke from the motor. It was at 180 F and shut off just when I got it back.
I just took a look at my trim tabs and strut, and realized the strut is angled upwards. I think this may have been causing the boat to not go to it's fullest potential. Other than that everything is set to neutral.
What is it with my boats and smoke? Haha.
