Sold my Hallett...

so now, the next problem..... the X was way too high, and it just didn't handle like a pleasure boat with twins..you really had to drive the boat and the trim and tabs where real sensitive...with the drive that high, any amount of trim to get the bow up would cause it to hop like peter cotton tail....and once it started hopping... you pretty much had to shut it down..so I added 1.5 drive spacers...

Time for another toy. Dune season anyway!

Now no excuse to get the garages cleaned out.

so now,, here's where I was at...rocket out of the hole...great mid range...but something was still going on at faster speed..it only like to bust through rollers straight on..if not, it would pitch side to side and start to bow steer..so back to the straight edge and the looking process ....what I found was the outer edge of the lower cav plates where below the water line, and as soon a s you tried to trim up..they would grab water... as long and they were in smooth water...they did nothing but cause drag.... but in rollers and chop... the drag would chage side to side.... and cause the boat to steer .... pretty wild ride on speed.....so.... I started looking at different lowers...what I noticed, any of the performace lowers didn't have the big wrap around cav plates... and all of the out board lowers that had jack plate type set ups didn't have them either.... so I did a mod to the stock ones....it was gonna cost 20k for two new imco lowers... and really all I was gonna gain was lowers that didn't have the cav plates..and what were the lowers worth..1000 buck each???? and if the idea didn't work....I still had to buy new lowers....so I got lucky...and it worked...

so now, on the quest to be the baddest mo fo...every time I did something so far was positive...and the boat just got better and better in the handling dept.

but... still more to go...so i'm out in the wind and big ass mead waves...the boat seemed to be like a stable house and would try to turn back to the dock on it's own....and after talking to guru after guru... they all seemed to say the same thing.... the props are spinning the wrong direction ...and it's a easy trial and error...swap the props around,, and see what happens....WOW... it worked...the boat is now amazing...runs though any thing with ease....done right????? wrong,... as with anything that you fine tune....there still more....lol

now whats happening....you still couldn't Ghost ride the boat....and it didn't track in a straight line... so back to head scratching sitting on a bucket looking at the transom.....with tape measure and straight edge in hand, I found that the drives were way toed out,... and it's said that they should toed in 1/8" or so...trial and error type deal... see what works and that where to keep it deal

like I said... it's a 100 mile trip to the lake and back..and I did the adjusting a little at a time..
