My Boat is running at 80 MPH on GPS at 5100 Rpm with a 28 pictch prop should I change the prop and go smaller or is this good. I also have a problem with the boat anything over 75-80 the boat starts to chine walk and I cant give it any more throttle. The boat is a 21.5 open bow boat with trim tabs and I have tride every diffrent level. Is there any thing I can do to stop this problem. Thanks Dave

The solution is very easy: don't go over 75. Problem fixed, maybe a life or two saved. A 21' open bow wasn't built to go that fast, especially one that doesn't handle.

How long are your trim tabs, and how far out from the outdrive are they?

What engine?
What hull?
What is your current prop?[[ie: Bravo four blade etc.]

go down to a 26.. you will have better acceleration and wont go over 75
