[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 328235, member: 7791"] Removing weight should raise RPM and slip should go down. The slip won't go down very much mind you but it should just a bit. Just think of having your motor on a steel barge that weighs 10,000lbs.......never going to plane it out and slip is going to be astronomical, likely in the 70% or higher range. Less weight=less drag, which=less slip......theoretically. Same reason hydroplanes usually have really good slip numbers......barely anything touching the water which makes for less resistance/drag. If memory serves me hydros run around 7% or less sometimes. [/QUOTE]
