i have a late 80’s 260b with a qjet on it and am having trouble with a bog under heavy load. If I have 4 people in the boat and go to wot the engine will just bog, if I go to 3/4 throttle it will put fine up on plane. If I am pulling a tube or put on my higher pitch prop I can only go 2/3...
Did not know where to place this post but general seemed the best. I have a 21.5' cuddy with a AQ260/290SP with 15"x19 pitch prop. When I pull a three person tube with about 400lbs of people on it as I am taking off to get up on plane I can give about 1/2-2/3 throttle then the prop will slip...
Hi, I have a spare prop for a AQ260/290 with a pt# C 851138. This prop looks like it is for a newer leg, will it work on the 290? One other really weird question: does anyone know the Boat speed at idle on a 15"x19" prop for the above? Thanks for any info!

The local Dealer has a 1998 E25RMECA outboard. Does anyone have a review or info on this motor? What to look out for or if it was a trouble proned engine. Looking to use it for a dual purpose Kicker and for another small 14' aluminum. Thanks
When in the thick of nasty conditions when the pucker factor is close to 100% who takes the time to adjust/run trim tabs if you have them? I have read a lot of what they can do and what you could use them for in bad conditions, in reality are they actually used when conditions get really bad, or...
Found this boat picture and was pretty surprised how aggressive the strakes are, they are all like reverse chines. Thought it was pretty cool and wanted to see if anyone else had some pics of cool Hulls. Sorry for the sideways picture, that is how I found it
So where I live there is really only boat dealers that would check a boat and you would hope they are honest and capable. I could be looking at a boat that is located were there is a much better chance of getting an actual Survey done. I have a few questions about them. #1 Are the Surveyors...
Hi, I am looking at this boat and have had trouble finding info on it, I am hoping someone can recognize the Brand (Galaxie) and the vintage along with some thoughts on quality through out. Add says it is 22' Cuddy with a Volvo 280(picture shows 290) and a 1998 model, looking at it and the...
