Has anyone had this problem before? I just bought this prop for my 95 VIP with a 5.7. I just put a brand new motor in the boat and put this prop on and took it to the lake and when i got ready too accelerate, the nose just when straight up in the air and went nowhere. I call my boatguy and he brought over a 3 blade 13x19 prop and it worked fine. i am new to this game so please help, have u ever heard of to much prop?:confused:

Were you trimmed in fully?

Have you tried different weight distribution?

Trim tabs an option?
