First time boat owner and I picked up a pretty nice 97 640 lx with a Mariner 90 on it. The previous owner had the motor in the bottom mounting hole on the transom and a Laser II 14x20 prop.
When i am by myself and I take off, it has a lot of bow rise, but planes really quick. Runs around 40 mph with full fuel and a light load.
when I have my buddy with me, it won’t plane off unless he sits where the front deck starts, then it planes off and he has to try to get back in the seat. I weigh about 175 and he’s about 300. I’m thinking of putting the motor back to the stock height, but I don’t know what hole they come from factory or what prop size comes on it. Any advice is appreciated
