So I have a problem with my 97 Speedster. I first had a problem with idle not matching and a problem that felt like cavitation which I thought were my wear rings. I fixed the idle problem and installed new wear rings. I tried to take her out the other day and it starts and idles correctly in water but when accelerating the boat refuses to go over 10mph. The boat makes a lot of wake, the engines rev smoothly and evenly but the boat does not accelerate over 10mph. If I max the rpms thd wake gets bigger, but my speed stays thd same, slowing crawling along the lake.
What else could this be guys?
Try to be descriptive with me when replying as I am handy, but not very experienced when it comes to this. The neoprene seal is new and my pump stator fins and blades appear to be solid. My wife and I are little fat asses (totalling about 500lbs combined).
I read somewhere on here about blade pitches and different thrusts. Due to weight I be I need yo change my impellers to something non factory..but don't know the first thing. I would like to increase the pitch of my blades for more low end thrust.
What would I change my OEM seadoo 11/22 blades to?

"Impellers are up to you. Skat-Trak "Swirl" impellers are you best bet for low end."
But what do I look for? Skat-Trak 11/22 pitch? That I don't fully understand or get.
