i do not want to sell my boat ive put a lot of time and love in it its a classic 67 carlson challinger 16 ft tunel and win its runing good its a blast
i 100% understand it was just a suggestion
KILLER: IF YOUR WATER PRESSURE IS MORE THAN 15PSI THEN START RAISING YOUR MOTOR UNTIL IT IS 12-14 PSI. SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE PLOWING THE WATER, NOT GETTING ANY LIFT, SHOULD HAVE A 23 OR 24 , 3 BLADE PROP. HOW IS THE HOLE SHOT? WHERE IS THE TIMING SET. SHOULD BE ABOUT 19 BTDC. DOES IT IDLE SMOOTH WITH THE FLUSHER ON IT. IF NOT, MAY HAVE A REED VLV. PROBLEM. BE SURE THAT IF YOU SET THE TIMING, CHECK THAT THE #1 CLY IS AT TOP DEAD CENTER AND THE TIMING MARK IS AT ZERO.
YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE IT DYNO TUNED. SHOULD MAKE ABOUT 2800 FT LBS.

hokt on fonix werkt fer me... J/K
What does the bottom of the boat look like? Is it lifting or running real wet. You may have a very bad hook in it. Something must be wrong with the hull if the engine is working correctly.
sory never have bean much of a speller . no hook that iam a wear of the boat seamed to ride good with the previous moter.
just a thought,have you talked to anyone at glastron/carlson to see what this boat used to do in its prime,maybe someone there might be able to help you. I think jungle boy might be right if they say motor is fine, what's the hull weight now compared to what it was originally,has any other work been done on floor or transom, extra weight. good luck and keep on trying,gotta love a guy who spend's time on a restoration!
