I bought a 1994 Searay 230da last summer and it drove awesome, would come up to plane nicely and cruised easily above 22 mph with little to no effort and at about 3200 rpms. later in the season last year i noticed it was having trouble getting up on plane, when it did finally get on plane it would require a lot more RPM to keep it there (it didn't happen every time we went out). Fast forward to this season, i just put the boat in (FINALLY!) yesterday. Same problem... hard to get out of the hole and it would require me to stay above 4k to keep it up and planned. It would also only get to around 20mph. Once i get up on plane.. my RPMs would keep climbing and id have to back off because i don't want to over rev. Gas mileage has never been good on this boat, but i didn't expect it to be either. Thoughts at what it could be?
