As Broomey said a 175 with the right prop should pop that boat on the plane allright.Ovakill i hope im wrong but have you checked for timber rot in the transom.Wet timber can weigh a lot.Cheers Paul
POD ???? aaahhhh......
Fantastic when they work, dogs whern they dont.
Ovakil have just spent the last month working out a Haines560 with Yam130HP hanging off a pod with similar bum heavy problems.
Found the answers 2days ago - she's a completly different rig now - sweet as.
Happy to pass on what Ive learned if you wish to PM me with your contact details.
Cheers, MalM
I have an old coxcraft rumrunner 1989 and when trimming for wot I have found about second nothch from the bottom of the gfuage is good and I can still steer both ways. I trim until I can steer both left and right without too much effert, only have cable steer on the old girl and a 90hp johno and she will pull 60kl/hr with 2 adult and 100litres of fuel with the fishing gear.
