Hello gentlemen,
I've had my new Z-18 four a few months now and it's still struggling to get on plane with a full tank of fuel and livewell. Dealer told me it would get better once the motor broke in but it has not. My Merc 150 four stroke came with a 22P three blade prop from nitro. This seems huge. Top speed is 53 with just me, an empty livewell and nearly no fuel. Definitely not the 60mph advertised.
Anyone out there running anything different on their z-18 with better results?
Thanks
Chris
