The real answer is: it could be any of a 100 things. I know that. Just which ones and in what order do I plan on checking/fixing them?
Background: Boat just does not have the zip it used to have. Not reaching cruising speed. Feels heavy in the water. Botom paint does not appear to be built up.
One friend on the dock has suggested that it is a good investment to have the props pulled over the winter and reconditioned. Eliminating that as a potential problem would be a good start says he.
That suggestion also begs the question of how to economically determine if I have the optimal props for my boat as currently outfitted/used.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
