rpms accelerate in rough water, lose of speed

How does the boat do in calm water and tight turns?

It runs great in hard turns and smooth water but in a strong turn at 3/4 throttle if the trim is way up and my tabs are down it will slip, so just a bump of the trim switch it stops, my cavitation plate is 2" above the lowest point on the hull, but with an offset hull its right on the razors edge of being to high, you just have to play with the trim to find the sweet spot or switch out to a 4 blade prop, but watch you dont run out of water to the water pump.

Hello,

I have a 2012 4 stroke 175 hp Suzuki. The motor is on a Glasstream 2012 22ft center console.

I have noticed when I'm in rough water I will be on plane and experience a surge in rpms and loose speed. The rpms will stay high and the speed continues to drop until I throttle down. When I throttle down and essentially start over I will get back on plane until the incident happens again. I have never had an issue when the water is calm or has a moderate chop. This started happening over the summer.

The only solution I have found is to go super slow in rough waters. Last week it took me almost two hours to run 22 miles in two foot seas.

Any suggestions...
