Nice running 29 , just my opinion for ocean running it look's like some tab's would be a nice addition because it seem to be running a little bow high , or that could have been just for top speed ?

Pat , Do you think the driver mite have lost some speed by having it trimmed so high like a non stepped boat , Only because it would have taken the step out of the water some so the boat wouldn't get the proper air ration for max speed as when the boat boat is more level ?

When we were doing the speed testing fuel economy testing of the boat I drove it and trimmed it. He documented everything.

The pictures taken were just outside Boynton and the photographer was on the north jetty. Randy had to keep slowing down and turning around for her so he had no real chance to hang the thing out. Plus we were dodging traffic coming in and out.
