How's the prop pitch? Is it getting close to max rpm at wot while lightly loaded? I ask because that boat should not need negative trim to get on plane. OTOH, a 2" diff in pitch can make a huge difference in getting on plane.

Not sure about the prop, but I talked to my buddy and he says he has water in the fuel. He found it out because he could not get the thing running for very long distances. I asked him what his max rpm was before the motor cut out and he was not sure. He is pumping out the tank today, and he cleaned out the bowls on the carbs already. I suspect this might be the problem..
