Purchased a 1997 209 Escape 4 years ago. My first boat. It has a 1997 150 HP Yamaha salt water series 2 stroke.
Boat is in great condition. Motor runs excellent. In chop boat struggles to stay on plane unless running at high speeds and tends to slap verse cut through the water. I hear the SeaV2 hull is supposed to be amazing. On a flat day, at best, trimmed properly, my WOT is 4900 to 5000 rpm. 17 pitch prop. Is this setup correct? Should I run a 15 pitch prop? 4 blade? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
