now if we just get him to trim past 3 or 4 on his gauge , he might see 80mph...
he should run about 82-83 with that set up

some times it takes seeing yourself run to really get all you can out of a boat

It's tough to get those boats to carry the nose. The same thing that helps them get on plane (pad) pushes the nose down as the boat gets faster. Originally Posted by Patyacht

Steve did you try driving the boat?? friend of mine had the same issue..I asked him if I could drive it..I ran it like he does..it felt like the hull was really wet...so I started trimming up until the hull finally loosened up..and the hull picked up speed ...he always resisted trimming up..but once he felt the speed and the agility in the hull he was a believer in trim....

To my eye...he starts out wet, but as he gains speed, the bow does lift out, and he is only wet aft of the steps....

Thanks for posting this Steve. Originally Posted by 2FORCEFULL

I've gotten so used to the boat constantly full of stuff and heavy as crap, it would never carry the bow past where I usually trim it. Which is around 4...ish, on the guage. It starts porpoising. This prop is a lot different, and I never tried trimming it up any higher than I'm used too.. Next time I go out, I should have some time to mess with it a little.
