I had the 2455 with the 5.0lter...basically a 305....220hp engine...the torque is rather lacking ..it used to struggle getting on plane.....even in alot of current at just above stall speeds on plane it would fall off really easy...
but with the right prop it should be good at getting on plane....
if you can ...find a 5.7ltr engine....much more torque and better planing times.....some guys have used a stainless steel 4 bladed prop that worked well with the 5.0ltr...but if you hit something..the drive takes the shock.......
let us know how it goes....
