Hi Tom - I 1981 30-1 675M81E, My boat has the Mertec 18" R 2 blade folding prop. It squats under 3/4 throttle as well. While it will not hurt a thing, you will get better traction and economy if you move some ballast forward The boat will have more waterline and moving more efficiently threw the water.Sometime it don't take much, With my boat I put a secondary water tank under the v-birth "12 gallon". Now I get her up to speed and back down to around 2200 rpm's and she catches hull speed.Well, When she has a clean dottom.
