ran mine last weekend hops out of the water at 110. Guess I need to find some boxes. Prop shaft is even with bottom of boat. would not come on plane without someone running to the front of the boat. Over all pretty happy till I blew a motor.

why do you think you need boxes? to solve your plaining issues? I have the same set up, running same speed, I had the props worked by Bblades & it carries the bow much better, planes without issue, & the hop cleans up after 90, running 34P labbed bravos & the tips have allot of cup in them

I hopped to 110 then started blowing the props out. I had to pull the motors so I figured if I'm going to do boxes now is the time. Also wont the boxes help with the hop?
