So this past weekend I took out our new-to-us 2000 25 with a 2003 8.1L Volvo repower, I know this boat is heavy but once there were 6 of us on board I could not get this boat to plane at all. Running WOT at 3200 rpm and 15mph was not very fun. I tried about everything to get the speed up, trim up, tabs up etc. to stop any drag
Things to note:
1. the hull is not that smooth, the paint job is pretty rough
2. I'm pretty sure the props on it now are B5's, my dad wants to change to stainless and he thinks C4's will bring those rpm's up.
3. tanks were over 3/4 full
I guess my main question is will the C4's make it faster fully loaded?
