I was used to trimming my 4`s and 5`s to the moon and the boat kept picking up speed.
With IV`s anything past level is no bueno.
Mine likes to run a couple knotches past tucked for the most part. Gotta be going over 70mph to be able to be level and not hop.
Anything over level shoots a rooster for a mile and loses speed at WOT .

This. This is really not helping me pass up the deal on sixes I found....

Do it!!

Pair of VI`s 2" above bottom and a set of 18 diameter 5 blade props 18R it`s going to feel like a new boat.
I get on plane at 3000rpm and no blow out .. pops on plane like a ski boat.

I mean they`re terrible , you should not do it at all.

I mean, you make a solid point. There’s really no reason “not “ to do it.

I need to repower the other boat with merc racing outboard 400s. I guess that’s about the same price, so whatever I end up with first is happening.

It may be just me reading what you wrote in the wrong context - are you talking about what you had before or referring to the 6's you just put on

IV is 4, VI is 6

We figured you were just testing us. Lol

Help needed!
working on fitting new trailer under the boat. For our style of boating we want to do we decided to swap trailers. I tow with a single cab medium duty so storage is kinda short. We’re at the point in our life we’re the kids are getting older and doing a lot in there own. So me and the wife want to head out and do some runs in different places. We would like to attend some fpc events / some Bahamas stuff and other places that being said for lots of miles towing I decide to opt into a Myco gooseneck. With a custom built platform over the neck with boxes underneath for storage. On the platform I can run all the spare tires and such. Worked out a deal and got a 2012 Myco that had a 42 tiger on it.got it home and doing a full restoration and build on it. Leads me to my questions ? Trying to figure out we’re axels should be. We are shorting the trailer a bit and putting all new axels and hard ware on we have everyhing cut off and are trying to figure it out with out moving the boat on it. It was set up for step haul and I didn’t like the supports we cut everything off and are having it sandblasted. Anyone have a 38 gun sitting on Myco gooseneck for measurements?

seems to be notched boats, at least in stock form my 87 never did with 3’s but didn’t have a notch
