Hello I’m looking for some help I recently purchased a 2015 242 limited S it has approximately 130 hours about three weeks ago was the first time I brought it out on the water I was having a hard time getting up to plane as I would start to takeoff when I got around 15 mile an hour that RPM would jump up and I would get very little movement I rebuilt the cleanout port and jet pump with new housing and bearings the propeller look to be in good condition no nicks or I brought it back out after rebuilding everything this weekend it seem to improve a little bit but on the low end I was getting a hard time getting up to speed the port engine would always be the worst once I got up to around 20/22 mph I would instantly feel like I got traction and the boat would easily get up to 40 mile an hour plus when I tried towing a tube it was a lot worse this is my first jet boat just looking for some advice where should I look to solve this problem thank you
