Sometimes it helps to see a photo.

It's cause the back of the boat is trying to take off like the space shuttle with 2100hp worth of exhaust pointing straight at the water. :party-smiley-004:

That’s funny:)
I see another 50' Hustler listed for sale with Trips and ADS-8s and the photo shows he is running a 5 blade on the out sides and a 4 blade on the center. Not sure if this is the case but I have a call into him also. Ken . |

Hey Rik,
The steering wheel is not moving but feels like the bow is steering. So yes the boat moves. Ken |
Where is the LCG?
|
I will have to work on getting that. I did just go for another run and I noticed if I trim up to 2 on my gauge it really calms down. but it’s all rooster tail and no speed. 0 would be in line with the hull at the transom.
|
Rik what are your thoughts about adding weights to the transom? I have no other way of shifting weight and now that you mention LCG I’m almost sure I need more transom weight on this Monster.
Ken |
I will get some sand bags to give it some weight on the rear. Maybe have 200Lbs on hand and start with 100 and see how it goes.
Thank you |
