you wont need a lwp for three inches under the bottom of the boat, make sure you have a water pressure guage, a chopper prop will not work well at 5" below the hull, see if you can borrow some thing like a 26 pitch laser 2 merc prop. again , the bigger prop, the worse it will handle as it is now. |

This is a round bottom boat isn't it? I think the key focus right now should be getting the motor running right and getting a proper mid on the thing...only then would I start messing with props and setup. Everything is going to change once the motor starts making power up top and you get the PH/propshaft closer together... |

yes Rick straked v bottom, still needs motor higher and your 20" mid to do it. i think the cutting out is the plastic 5 gal portable tank, mine would,nt run well on one either. |

if you still have the quick disconnect in the fuel line at the motor, I would get rid of it as well, just attach the fuel line right on the inlet to the fuel filter. same at the fuel tank |

your compression sounds fine, the excells came with staggered compression. Steve |

The Right bank sounds exactly right...the left sounds a bit high...but it could just be your gauge or carbon. I like seafoam in my OX66 to keep the O2 sensor clean...so...it won't hurt... |
