Craig i think its a question of adjustment.
can you make a Foto from the side with the hull on a plain hard surface so that i can see the angle of the outbourd and the running height .
It looks that the OB is so mounted that the props are full in the water.

Hi Axel
here you go. I mounted the ob even with the bottom. I am pulling the motors to night and plugging holes. sat. I will move the ob over a 1/2 inch. do I need to move the props up???

Craig you will be running in a circle. For 19lbs you would need the power of about at least 4-5 KW and you canīt put that thru the OBīs because you are limited by the Flex in the OB and the Propsize.
The best chance i see is using 6 S and motors like https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...?strSearch=h31 or
