That sounds slow to me. I know all pontoons are different. I knew a guy that I would see on ski's behind his pontoon
with a 40 horse pushing it. According to test results I just read on the net, you should be running 20mph or more.
They may have put the wrong pitch prop on. Bad thing is that it's a guessing game getting the right prop. Maybe
you have a friend with a prop a few numbers higher you could borrow for a test run. I just had another thought. A
Friend of mine bought 8 pontoons a few years ago. Had a problem with cavitation....Had to change the box that
the engine mounts to on all of them. (not sure what they call that box)...anyway, it was a factory recall.
