I have a 1988 Stratos 181 pro v bass boat that I just recently restored. It has a 1976 JOHNSON 135 V-4 on it. A hi-jacker 5'' jack plate, and a stainless steel prop which i cannot find the pitch number on it. The motor is turning 4700 @ W.O.T. I believe this motor should turn 5500. It's running around lower 40's, and i just can't get any lift. the motor is not trimming up as far as i think it should under power. does anyone have any suggestions on this issue. The water breaks just in front of the console. I believe if it would trim on up, and i could get the rest of the boat out of the water, the rpm's may be where they need to be.
thanks for any replies.
