I realize that about the porpoising .I am going to try some 5 blade hydros and maximus to see if it will give it some tramsom lift .right now it has a lot of bow lift even with drives all the way in. tabs are the long ones .

I agree with luck strikes you should try to spin them in..It's easy enough to do.

I have done that and it helped a little bit..

I think the drives are too high.
You can put a spacer in to lower them.

Most tg's have the porpoise issue? well that sucks!

Great! I think I suffered a few MPH at top end, but gained a lot at cruise. 73mph on GPS was my best at top end. Cruised in the mid 50's around 3500rpm. Here is a video of me getting on plane and also wide open with 5 blade Maximus props and twin 600hp and 5500rpm.

I don't recall ever being on one that wasn't a hoppy horse in flat water (without using a little tab).

Hah! Hoppy Horse.... Gotta like that post

i would try to add a little weight in the nose of boat,see what happens better than dragging tabs seems like most of the straight bottom guns with the half cabin hop until 60 or so,we converted a 92 gun from trs to bravo afew years back left the motors foward installed imco torrisional shafts,had to move the motors foward about a inch from trs location,was a pain to align but the boat worked perfect,the customer was really happy with the speed increase but was really happy that it took away all the hop at low speed and now doesn't have to reach for tabs once the boat gets on plane

My TRS Gun has 3 blade 23 pitch Mirage Plus on it. A little tough getting on plane loaded but once up runs great. 65 mph, Thinking of 4 blade bravo 1 Props, What is the Pro-Cons and what pitch? 22or 24
