Hi All,
I'm not sure if I have a problem or not, so I'll ask the experts.
2009 Challenger 180SE 255HP - Now 20 hours but has been doing this from beginning
I sucked up a line first time out, but once cleared didn't appear to be too much of an issue.
My buddy that has a Speedster, gets out of the hole by "flooring it" from 0 to full throttle - wham bam. - (lighter boat 215 HP)
If I do that, my 180 cavitates for a 1 2 3 count and then bites and away we go - we hit 96 km/h today (that's about 55 mph for our friends south of the border)
When I had my 10 hour check up (at 20 hours), I mentioned this and the dealer changed out the wear ring (I probably shouldn't have said that I sucked something up as this was an invitation, but these guys are pretty good)
If I gradually apply throttle and coax it out of the hole, no problem.
Should I be expecting to be able to give it full throttle and have this thing jump out of the water?
I'm not all that unhappy with the boat, if it should be jumping out then I'll go looking further for another issue, if not, I'll keep doing what I've been doing.
Thanks,
Ian
