 prop getting to much air
Could the pieces of angle on the bottom of a normal Jon boat cause the prop to get to much air in? Disrupting the water to much maybe?

 Re: prop getting to much air
Pieces of angle? Could you show us a picture? Im just trying to imagine pieces of angle welded to the bottom of a hull...

 Re: prop getting to much air
Just where the hull is broke when they build it so u can turn and not just drift. I think they are called the strakes
