[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 419870, member: 9884"] Two things: First, that prop diameter seems a little small. I run a 40 ETEC with the factory prop. It's 13.5x15. Maybe try a larger diameter. Second, get under the boat with a long straight edge. Hold it parallel with the keel, and make sure the hull is straight near the transom. A boat that sits on a trailer with bunks that don't extend past the transom, will develop a "hook" at the end. This can affect speed, and can also be difficult to fix. Here's an example.
