I've posted this question in a different heading, but I think this will be better explained here (hopefully)
I have an OMC King Cobra 460 engine, with a Bravo II pushing a 29' Bayliner with trim tabs. I think my prop is a 15/15 My WOT RPMS are between 45 to 4800 RPM. When I open her up to take off the bow comes up, and I lower my trim tabs, and it takes a couple of minuites to BARELY get up on plane I know its a big boat to move, but something just doesn't seem right. With an engine that size, it seems I should be up on plane in no time. Do I want a prop for the power, of for speed?
