 No Top End?????
I have a 2006 G3 1652 with pods on the back and a 09 MB HD 4000 the motor runs at about 4200 with jus tme in and runs great gets on plan quik and Hauls a$$. The minute I put another guy in the boat and some gear its a dog and I know It shouldnt be. The motor dogs way down and and I cant get the boat up on plane anymore. At first it seemed like it was flooding itself out but its not. Im not sure what I could try next Thanks for any help

 Re: No Top End?????
where's the extra guy and gear sitting? up in the front? that could make a big difference. even in a boat designed for a mudmotor, putting heavy stuff up front kills performance in my boat...

 Re: No Top End?????
Ive tried putting guys up front and sitting in the back with me. It doesnt seem to make much of a differnce. Could it be my prop its wore down pretty bad I have about 40hrs on the big blade and alot of it was thru sand. It seems like when I punch the throttle it hesitates to take of and the more weight I put in it the worse it gets.

 Re: No Top End?????
uuuuuhhhhh, yeah, if you have 40 hours of running sand, that might be your problem.  get with mudbuddy and figure out if your prop is shot. I'm sure you can measure it from tip to tip and find out. I don't know anything about their props... someone else on here might.

 Re: No Top End?????
I mesured the prop its at like 11.25 its suppose to be 12.25 I was kinda thinking it might be the prop but hoping it was just a carb adjustment. You know somthing cheaper than $240.00 but if its the prop I will get a new one they are on sale right now. Thanks

 Re: No Top End?????
pics of my prop the one is a bad pic but it shows its only like 11 inches tip to tip. Is this the reason im not getting up on plane with a big load in the boat. Never hit a rock but their are shit loads of clams thats why it is so chewed up.
