What do you think?
Well looks like the post from the 20th got deleted some how so I'll post it again.
Do you think I need more bow lift? 24P Bravo 1 at WOT
I still never feel the boat lift out of the water. And the water is breaking about at the drivers seat. Can't really tell from the pics but it is.

Re: What do you think?
What do you mean by tilted? If you mean how far am I trimmed up almost to half way on the trim indicator. I can go more but doesn't help.

Re: What do you think?
Yes I meant trimmed up. Don't pay much attention to the indicators. You will feel the boat start porposing once your too far.
Bravo is considered a neutral prop.
Mirage will give better bow lift and speed but you get less bite out of the hole and in turns.
Hydromotive gives better transom lift.
If your still unhappy take the boat out and check for a hook in the hull by putting a level in the pad area. A lot of boats have some degree of hook. see what your's is.

Boat never porposes. And never felt the boat lift up out of the water. There is a hook 1/16th on each side on the strake. Was told this is normal.

Re: What do you think?
Are you running a Bravo 1 prop? I can trim it all the way up till it won't trim any more and it still never porposes.

Re: What do you think?
Hmmm, personally I havent seen a case where over trimming causes a porpoise. Usually, you can trim until you feel the prop let go or become unhooked , so to say. If you are at that stage in the pictures then yes you need more bow lift.

Re: What do you think?
Depends on the hull and power I guess. On my old t-330 32 I could trim them up until they were surface piercing (rooster tial) and still not porpose.
This boat lets me know QUICK when I'm out too far as it will become unstable and porpose. A little ware and were airborne.
Try making an adjustment on the position lockout switch (one of the round disks on the gimbal ring). This should allow you more travel.
