[QUOTE="juggernot, post: 353962, member: 10919"] I have a G3 1860, it is not a flat bottomed boat, it's a semi V hull, 5 degrees I think . I'm no expert but I think your overloading your flat bottomed boat and have trouble staying on plane (porpoising) and pushing water w the bow instead of riding on top of it. Have you checked the weight capacity of your hull to the weight you are carrying? I would suggest a 4 blade alum. prop for that 50 HT. A 4 blade improved my boats performance all around from the factory alum 3 blade. I also agree w raising the motor till the AC plate is level or slightly above the keel. [/QUOTE]
