it's take's maybe 15 seconds to cook the engine!!! Again what do I know???
If you going to jack with the jackplate install a water pressure gauge!!!!!!!!
P.S.
Is the engine hitting on all cylinders, if it's not, it might run good at top end but it will be hard to get on a plane.
As long as the fins on the side of the foot above the prop aren't above the bottom of the boat he shouldnt have a prob. Pressure gauge is a good idea for sure but a boat not getting on plane and lugging the whole time will overheat as well. Sounds like it's under powered.
None of us seeing it first hand aint helping either.
Good luck ES.
