Absolutely awesome! You really gotta be happy with how good your first sea trail went. I know mine went really good also but I sorta took it for granted. Boat looks awesome and happy to see you get her in the water!

boat came out very nice with the o/b conversion
believe the platform and standard gearcases down deeper in the water is a good set up for the baha baha is a full pleasure boat and bit heavier than some other brands of hulls if tried to run sportys with motors on the surface would probably have a harder time getting on a plane and more slippage at lower cruising speeds wanting to come off plane did nice job on the conversion and good results 1rst time out |
Yep. I may try my 25p Rev 4s bc they should have more bow lift than the rev 4 XPs.
It’s running really flat and I dont get any bow rise trimming up. If they work, I can bend them down to get my rpms at 6300ish. If not, I may just cut some barrel off the 23.5 Rev 4 XP and add some cup.. According to my resaarch the XP props are good for stepped hulls and lifts the stern and have less cup.

I didn’t fill mine up very often, but when I did I remember it was a pig.
If you’re running it at 1/2 tank, you may be ok prop wise |
That thing looks killer man. Hopefully I'll catch a glimpse some point this summer. If you ever see a Sonic Prowler around the Eden isles area, it's me

Are you on Pebble Beach? I thought I saw a Sonic headed back to a friend in the Inlets.

The 33OL is only 7500 dry with the inboards. Probably under 7000 now with the O/bs.
Cav plate was 2-3” out the water and still need to finish sea trialing to jack up and see what slip and overall handling does.

I tried the 25p Rev 4 and seemed to move the bow around. I kept getting an exhaust overheat shutdown. Come to find out the water hose going to the exhaust came off.
I’ll try the Rev 4 XP again and adjust as needed. I’ll probaly adjust the 25p as well. I am definitely not turning IN. I tried that before and it was sloppy and reverse sucked. Now im 6” closer together. I also definitely need some seat time once I get the bugs out the motors. Trim is a lil weird…. I marked where neutral was and it seems to not take much trim before porpoising at low speeds (below 45) but I normally run 50+.

There’s always inside rotation to get it to gain more bow lift…. it’s not as easy to do as it is on a bravo tho
