Looking for some help to start trouble shooting
1997 Bayliner 3788
250 6bta
650 hour engines
Bottom is clean
New filters in the last 50 hours
After coolers serviced
I have no history on props but believe they are factory
The boat will not plan out and only pulls 2200 wot
14 knots top speed with 3/4 fuel not loaded
Black soot and smoke for about the first 5 minutes then it cleans up but still not getting rpm
Runs smooth and has clean airseps
Any thoughts on this would be a big help
It may be over proper or are the 3788 just under powered with the 250hp
