What you need to do is take it to the lake , have a friend who knows how to drive , or work on a motor, and while you are going about 25mph or so, just up on plane, have him, or you open the air fuel screw on the carb, since you rejetted, you may need to open or close more, and thats a good way to do it, you will feel the boat either slow down and pop, or as you open it more you will feel the boat pick up rpms, I would bet you are to lean , or to rich, and that way of doing it will tell you right where you need to be!
Last night I checked everything out again and everything seems right. I think your right that it is to rich. I jetted this thing when the weather was in the high 60's low 70's. Now I am boating in the mid to high 80's, just seemd like a lot of RPM to loose due to jetting but if it's getting to much fuel that it can't burn I guess it's possible.

My everyday "ski" prop is a Michigan Wheel Apollo Stainless 21. I can not stress enough how happy I am with this prop on this boat. It does everything that I want it to do, regardless of price. I have tried the $400 + Mercury Laser II's, Mirage Plus and a couple of others and this one is by far the best all around prop I have used, excellent slip (very little) great hole shot, with good top end performance. I bought this one through PropMD on the web, great service from these guy's and they have a prop exchange program. I will be trying a loaner 22 Mercury Enertia next weekend, I have heard good things about these but I don't expect it to replace the Apollo unless it is significantly better. For going top end only I have a Mercury cleaver prop that I screw around with once in awhile but the handling changes quite a bit.
