Not sure yet, one more week on a tugboat!

A lot of good info. Our wet water activities are done till next summer but a spare wheel that could be put on in the summer to pull her and the kids would be good. The boat will primarily be used for fishing the Columbia river and some family adventure. I guess she'll need a second ski also...

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, for some reason I'm submitting my once but it shows it twice. I am using a smart phone maybe that's why.

I guess I don't know how these things work!

I replied in the wrong forum I think; the boat sat in a shop the previous three years before I bought it in May of this year. A brand new prop came with it, when I get home off the boat I'll try it and see if that makes the difference. If that fails, I'll check in and see if anyone has anymore...

Rodger, the boat was in a shop unused the previous 3 years before I bought it in May of this year. I have a spare wheel, new in the box that came with the boat . I think I'll try that first. Thanks for all your help guys! When I get home of the boat, I'll put the spare wheel on and if I still...

The prop is a 14x17. It's what came with the boat. Thanks again!

I'm on a tugboat right now but will see if my wife can get me my prop specs. I normally don't have reason to go hard over and throttle up; was doing some fiddling trying to figure out when and why it does this, last time home. I guess I haven' owned the boat long enough to know it's true limits...

I bought the boat back in May; it was in mint condition and I'm the second owner. I put it in the water and haven't pulled it out since. I'll pull it and investigate some of those things. It was dealer installed and the older gal I bought it from doesn't recall any issue like I'm having. Also...

Correct, I do not have an aftermarket plate, the motor sits on the transom, as low as possible, and I use the trim guide indicator, for what it is; a guide. I use the tach and my ears for everything else to get a nice ride depending on conditions. I have owned and run boats all my life and...

Good idea! Thanks. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated!. I've seen some mixed reviews on cavitation plates; anyone had any luck with one.

Typo, it's a 1988, I do not have a cavitation plate, the wheel is like brand new, and i run the motor at the recommended spot on the trim gauge indicator. It powers up nicely and runs fine even with a full load; no slipping. But as soon as I give any rudder that is more than a mild turn, she...

I am having trouble with cavitation on my 1982 22ft cdory cruiser. It has a 70hp Johnson long shaft. It wants to cavitate and rev up when turning even at moderate speeds. It is worse in any amount of seas. Any suggestions?
