mariah going to be fish food help
 

bought a 1994 talari 210 with new 5.0L and new out drive and takes about 30-45 second to plane out wot 4800 rpm and about 43mph with a 19p high five any help before this mariah becomes fish food:confused::confused::confused:

This one's tough! I have to think something isn't tuned correctly. Your RPM's are about right, meaning the pitch should be about right. But it has a high five which will give lower top end (which we're seeing) but a better hole shot (which we're definitely not seeing). I can't help but think there's something wrong with the engine, carb, drive alignment, maybe even water-logged stringers/transom adding weight.

I hate to say it, but a good surveyor or mechanic should be able to help. I don't totally count the prop as the culprit just yet. Either way, it's a Mariah - DO NOT turn it into fish food. You'd have about 2000 angry Mariah fanatics after you!!!
