Stalling was an issue at times when shifting with those engines, bumping the throttles during shifting helps. The engines are 589ci intercooled that Frank Mccomas from Scorpion Racing built which made over 1000hp on the dyno, not sure why you have to "trim them up to get it going"? tuck the drives in all the way and lower the tabs and give er it will get on plane no problem.....your most efficient speeds will be with the drives and tabs set on those little silver marks i put on the indicators. I could cruise at 70+mph around 4500 rpm.

I had also seen the video of the boat being wrapped, how well will the vinyl hold up on the bottom of the hull? I wrapped my previous boat and had some issues with the vinyl peeling around the corners at the transom, just curious how wrapping the bottom would hold up.

Lower the idle and add fuel , if they are 4 corner idle adjustment start at 1 1/2 turns out
If really 1000hp and 70mph something is wrong .way wrong.

It was only really temporary for the event we had. The hull is starting to peel right at the front now.

I would have guessed they bumped the idle to get us thru the event. The only thing i can think of is the difference between fresh and salt water on the stalling issue. Once in gear its no problem just a little hesitant to bump the throttles whilst shifting. So solution was trim right up to take load of props to get into gear. Like others have said might just need more seat time.
