Wondering if its unique to the hull (Formula 270 BR) or maybe the stock props are not well suited to our loading and use.

BTW its a Mercruiser 8.2 Mag/Bravo 3 twin prop (stock)

Any thoughts are appreciated.
Check the back pin on the trim cylinder where it mounts to the drive their a spacer in there that could be in the wrong position ..
