I have a 1991, 22' Daytona with two, 2.5 mercury outboards with tilt only using 28 pitch mazco props. I have a set of 28-cleaver and 28-chopper props. The center of the prop shaft is about equal with the bottom of the hull.
My kids want to be able to ski behind our boat but it just will not get on plane with too many passengers or a skier. The prop blows out and will not catch back up.
I was told that I need to just prop it down to a 24" and it will work. I thought lowering the engines would do the trick, but I was told it doesn't.
I really don't need the boat setup to run 95+ MPH, so if I had to give up 20 mph to have a more usable boat, I am ok with that. I have seen twins used for skiing, so what do I need to do...please help.
