Hi all,

new to the Carver world and when my boat is full of fuel and water, cannot get it out of the water. Only if less heavy, trimmed down and WOT. I know this is not a cruiser but with that kind of hull, I expected a better range of cruising.

I am trying to find what was the provided prop on this model but I do not have the original build of material and it the manual, the 2808 is not listed. So I go from 18x21 (probably 3 blades at that time) for a 5.7 Merc to a 18x18 for the 305 Cruisader.

Mine are the 350 Cruisader and equipped with 4 blades 18x17 and can't say I am impressed. RPM on port won't go higher than 3600 and port 3200 which was rebuilt last winter. I need to get the RPM checked to see which one is true but I want to know who has experience with different props on the 28 or 300 aft with the 350 cruisaders....

Thanks!! Nice little Aft boat, love it, but hard to find good info on a boat that old.
