Q:

My outfit doesn't have the speed I expect, though I've tried several types of prop. Why?
A: Some boats do not have the power to "get over the hump" or attain planing speed. Other boats that achieve planing speeds may not have the power required to reach speeds desired. In such cases, repowering is the only answer. Power requirements are proportional to the speed cubed.
