RW - as many times as that has happened to me (spun hub) you'd think I'd have thought of it first! Rick - he may be onto something. I don't know about a 130 for sure but a 150 at 4500 is gonna plane very quickly and run up into the mid to upper thirties. When you can, take the prop off and inspect the rubber around the prop hub. If it is spun you'll be able to tell most likely. It'll have little bits of chewed up/burned up rubber. If you can't tell by looking you can mark it, then run it, check again to see if it is slipping. This happened to Garrett not even 6 months ago with his little 15 hp. Could still get it to plane but it hub was slippin like crazy.

Good call RW.

Reel, thought about that too. Still could be that? We'll figure this out one way or another.
