If that still takes too long, you can play with prop size, pitch, cupping and venting. *When you get your desired result, you will may lose some top end speed. *Prop selection is a PITA for most boat owners. The old Century I had was the pits for getting up on plane ... when the engine was having a good day and it could. I had two props of two different pitches. * I used one when I had four or more people aboard and the other when only one or two were aboard. *That boat was so heavy in the stern it took trim tabs fully lowered and the leg fully tucked in plus a request for a couple of people to go forward in the cabin to get it up on plane. Eisboch What size Century was it, Rich? |
