When wake boarding we would run 2500 even and it would get up and go just fine.
400lbs of human ballast in the nose. I wasn't even pulling a surfer. What elevation are you at? The 1847 I'm running had no problem with all ballast full + 5 adults.

Ran great with zero weight. However, once the ballasts were filled 1900#'s I could barely get the boat to 10mph. Full throttle, 3400 rpms and maybe 12 mph. Couldn't even get the boat to plane. Needless to say it getting shipped back asap.
I see you live in Spokane too. I run 1617 prop on my 13 LSV and never had those issues. Unfortunately I bent it at Long lake last weekend and now have to run my 537 tell it's fixed.

Isn't that funny. I should run it by precision propeller and make sure WM's didn't accidentally send me an out of spec. Prop. Now hat I have the 1847 back on I should re-test and make sure I wasn't experiencing engine issues. I guess this is one of those times when the enemy of good is....

I would have to lean on that 400lbs of nose weight vs the huge amount of tail weight was why you didn't plain.
I am not saying your wrong by any means, I just know how I ran mine when I had it lol.
The important thing is your happy with your performance, I just never had an issue with the 1617
But the 1847 would plain perfectly with the same set up plus more human weight in the back. The other issue, was full throttle and couldn't plain. The 1847 popped right out ran between 2800 and 3000rpms and I had a ton of throttle left. With the 1617 the throttle was buried; couldn't plain or push her passed maybe 12mph. It sounds like I may have received an out of spec prop from WM's

When I had my LSV, I would run 1,500 lbs stbd, center full (whatever that was), and 600 lbs in the bow. The 1617 was the beast
