What prop are you using?
And how do you tell about cavitation?
What is it called when you trim up and you can here the prop start to slip and your revs go higher?

What a great looking boat. It looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

I call it tilting the motor up TOO DAMN HIGH.!!...LOL!!...

There is a fine line between where it BITES and where it slips...but you gotta make it slip to find that sweet spot where you'll get your optimum speed w/least amount of foot in the water...
