HEY guys I have a pic somewhere from the back of my boat at the upper 70s and you can see the hooked outer chine was not touching the water, but it was flat out in the bay that day. wildcard when are you going to test the shortie with your set up. I still need to buy a carb and do the glass work just been broke this winter putting in 400 to 600 in to heat only for the house while I am still disabled getting the knee replacement on the 28th of feb.

You are quite right, that with every mile that the boat run faster lifts it higher and higher out of the water. The CHINES are completely dry on smooth water, at 70 and above.
But Tony was referring to the outer strakes that run to the transom. On my boat they are right in the middle of the base of the trim tab (picture) , and they have a small (but visible on the picture - against the trailer bunk) wedged surface at the end, kicking the waterflow downwards, like a tab. It starts 6-8" before the transom and is a 1/4" deflection at max.
All 25OL have this, and it is a built in feature that was probably created to give the boat a little inherent stability in the hands of the "entry level" boater.
When you know what tabs are for, you donīt need it.
I see guys crawling under their 25īs real soon, and saying "where the hell did that come from!"

its the same on my 24ol but I have a pic and that chine was out of the water, I could have been going 80, but my tabs were out to IT WAS PRETTY SMOOTH OUT IN THE BAY THAT DAY. they put those in for lower powered motors to help get on plane with out tabs, and to keep the bow down.
