I just bought a used 2006 2050RL with a 75hp Yamaha and trying to get a little more speed. With 6 people total (4 people in the boat and 2 on a tube) I am getting about 15 mph and with 2 people and not pulling a tube I am getting around 21 mph at 5,900 rpm's. Currently using a 13 pitch prop; tried a 15 pitch but lost 1,250 rpm' so looking for other options. I noticed there is a very large wake being created by the ladder because it sits so low in the water and yes it was in the up position
. This would seem to me to be creating a lot of unnecessary drag. Has anyone mounted the ladder any differently to reduce the drag? Just looking for thoughts and suggestions.
