Last night I really screwed up. I put the boat in without the plug! Luckily I remember before I drove the truck up the ramp to park. Nevertheless, it was a race against the clock. I eventually won but the boat was draining like and the bildge pump was running like Hoover **** . Anyway, I put the boat in the thing fired up just fine. I did notice that I had a more difficult time getting the boat to plane out. I was wondering if the water could have had something to do with it. The boat was emptied prior to gunning it so I'm pretty sure that was okay. I was carrying a 3rd person weighing 240 lbs. Maybe thats why. Any thoughts? There was a pretty big chop that I was working through too. <br /><br />89 Ranger, 89 175 HP Johnson.<br /><br />One more thing... what is a spun prop?<br /><br />Thank you for your knowledge<br /><br />Jason
