Does anybody here know this guy?
 
Me and a few of my friends are looking for a friend of ours. His name is James and he seems to have lost his friggin' mind. Once a highly regarded member of the AT Cult has sold his AT and bought a BT. If anyone on here has seen him tell him we miss him and hope he gets the help that he so desperately needs. We love you man (and your wife is HOTT, with 2 T's) We just want you back, we'll forgive you for straying to the dark side. Phone Home James, just phone home:(

excursion 03-16-2008 08:30 AM

This is the most ACTION the BT forum has seen in months.........WOW!!!! People do post down here????

R Addiction 03-16-2008 09:16 AM

I saw the desperate situation here in the BT forum.....So things are good with Top Heavy, any #'s for us?

excursion 03-16-2008 03:16 PM

Had it out yesterday with 5 guys on board and a little over half tank, 26 pitch props @ 5200 rpm a whopping 73.8 mph, which I really should be happy with for a 12,500 lb. boat & stock 500 efi's.
Not much to tweak here so I will sit back and ride.

James, tabs down 7/8 of the way, drives all the way down, feather the throttles not over 4000 Rpm until you are @ 15 MPH with a light load or a little faster with a heavier load. When the speed is right SLOWLY start the tabs up. When the props catch ease the throttles to 3500 RPM. When you hear the fist step break suction you are on plane. Tab and trim accordingly after you are on plane. Small increments at a time.

Thats took much like work:D

Thanks for the info.......We tried all different ways to get on plain and putting the tabs half way down and throttle up to 3000 rpm and wait for it to plain out then raise the tabs worked great for the boat. Very strange feeling half way thru the process the boat will just pop out of the water.

Glad to hear everything went well. It will take some getting used to but you'll be all right. Looking forward to having some fun this summer.






They did not even have a BT owners forum when we joined, we had to ask for it to be put on here.

Sounds like you need to add a little cup the the prop on the Generator.
