Any chance of a video? I would like to know if it's weak on 1 cyl or evenly weak on both. It could just be coincidence that you washed it

Will C I was going to do a video but she ran great Friday? Yes firing on both cylinders. I do not know what was going on. Maybe just a heavy load? But I have had same load before and ran fine. I believe I need to do some motor upgrades.

Re: Newer Gatortail running at 3500 RPMS help please
That's what I am worried about I didn't do anything. I did have 7 batteries and 3 men in the boat BUT as I stated done that before without issue. Question would I be better off running my 2 blade prop or 3 blade with a heavy load?
