The boat reacts alot less to trim, pretty much set it and forget it. No problems for me to get up on plane. I have 1.34 gear and 32 pitch props.

As it sits now, my boat runs best with very little trim, (very different than running a v-Bottom) Has anyone tried cutting off the diffuser ring? I'm wondering if this would have any effect? I will definitely be swapping over to -2 lowers, once I get bored in the 100 zone & want to take it to the next level
:p

Looks to be some difference in the exhaust locations/drive locations between the Awesome and the AO.

Almost looks like the motors are further outboard then mine are.

yea maybe the angle. Still looks like your outer exhaust is closer to the side of the boat.

Paint is not 100% done yet. Still need to put the new rub rail back on and paint the windshield area. Motors are still out also waiting on a thru-hull water pickeup to show up from Dana marine. New side vents are on order. I will post some pics shortly once it is back together.
I also have a full swim platform to paint and bolt on.

I deffinitly had it torn apart.

Can you measure from center to center on the two center exhaust tips? Mine is 42.5 inches if I recall. I am just curious, not a big deal if you can't.
