1996 Larson 194 Not accelerating hard and Low top speed

[frantically relaxing]

A question many forget: What altitude are you boating at?

Boating at about 1000' above sea level so pretty good air. The previous owner told me it's a deep hull model and if that's true then I'm sure it has a lot of drag. I have another prop for it that's the exact same but in better shape, if they aren't too hard to throw on I could do that and see if it makes any difference.

I have a few props, get a prop wrench and you can change it in 3 minutes and don't need any instructions. One nut and it is off.

The same but in better shape ? So your saying the current prop is dinged up ? Think about it,that little prop is pushing your boat with massive drag through water. Any small imperfection will result in performance loss, big time. A dinged prop may damage your prop shaft seal over time and who knows what else. A SS prop of the exact specs will work even better than a aluminum in most cases because its thinner and doesn't flex as much.
