A little more Tinkering
My drive is mounted QUITE high. At top speed I am loosing water pressure. SO I welded up the original water intake at the nose of the IMCO -3 shortie. Then I cut a new slot about 3 inches back ( that is as far as I could cut it.
Hopefully this solves the problem or else I may have to install a scoop. I don't want to install a through hull pick up If I don't have to.

why not just use offshore pick up

Why make more holes in the hull for water to leak in if I can get this to work. Plus the through hull pick up will cause more drag. Believe me I will get this to work. The boat is going 112 MPH and I feel it will hit upper teens once I get the prop right and trim right. This boat has less than 4% slip.

Wife lost a hat at 95
112 was real smooth.
I need to try out the labbed Bravo 30. I lost the seawater pump last Sunday and had to pull the boat out.
I have to learn all over how to drive this boat. How much trim at what speed.
Learning all about speed and cornering.

Have you tried a 5 blade yet? I broke a Bravo 4 blade a couple weeks ago and my mechanic put a pair of 5 blades on it for testing. No numbers to share but really changed how the cat handled. I noticed anothe 30' that was for sale running 130 mph was also running 5 blade Maximus

Your Daytona is a twin engine = heavy stern. The 26 Daytona has a center of gravity that is too far forward. With a Maximus 5 blade prop I get way too much transom lift. It literally rides on the prop and the front sponsons. I was at full throttle with the stock Maxomus and when I let off the throttle it felt as if I had slammed on the brakes. I was running on the bow. I am going to have the Maximus 28 labbed to lessen the transom lift and use it when I have a heavy load.
