Needs some help from the Tower Boat boys!! Are any of you having issues when boats are loaded up dropping speed and RPM's? Dealer, Bennington and myself are perplexed!!! When I have 2-4 adults on and 1/2-3/4 full of 56 gallon tank I am able to run 45-50mph and 5500 RPM's. Mind you I have the 350 yami Pig on back as well. As soon as we load up with 6-8 adults and a few kids pulling our tube we lose serious MPH and Rpm's. I am only able to run 25-29 Mph and 4400-4600. When really loaded with 12-14 we run 19-21mph WOT. We also have sea legs which roughly weigh 500lbs. (250 for the front and 250# for back legs). Bennington engineer and Dealer have been spinning as to what might be causing this. They are thinking d/t weight of tower, center gas tank, wt. of 350 and sea legs that I am to heavy in the stern and thus need some lift. They are going to try a 4 blade prop to see if that might help. Both feel with that HP I should not be dropping performance as I am. What props are those with towers and bigger engines running? I hope that some of the experts here maybe can give me some insight or suggestions. Thanks guys!!
PS Sealegs work awesome so I am hoping this is what is not causing my issues!!!
