The boat is light, recently rebuilt the whole transom and rear deck, totolly dry now.Checked the linkage at motor, it is maxed out. Engine height is OK the fin on lower unit is even with keel. Engine just repaired, runs great. Could a prop change make up 1500 RPM's ? I don't know what else to try.
Good example of why it's helpful to post yer boat/motor in your profile info...can't remember what motor you have...but obviously you've got some RPMs to make up, but my thought is a 17-19 P prop of same diameter..and look into the suggestions others have made...
