I didn't delete. But yes, I tried that. No difference. Called Brett@bblades, called Max, called Fred @imco. And the only person who had some positive input was Max. Fred was zero help, which pissed me off since I bought lower direct from imco. Spend $5k and get zero help with issues. Not cool.

well, took it out today. Same issues. The 28 bravo ran good once I got it on a plane but it took forever to get on a plane. To the point where it almost didn’t want to. Tried turning to port, and that did make the prop bite but then as soon as it bit it seem to spin out again. Tried slowing down to let my wake push me over that worked OK but still took forever to get on plane. my last try is this Max machine works plate. If that doesn’t work I’m about done. Just go back to the XR lower. once on plane it seems to act pretty good I’m getting 50 miles an hour at 3900

Well between changing stud to flush Allen head and adding the max machine batwing, all.is good again. Get on plane without tabs and runs like a champ.

I’m having the same issues with my boat… went from bravos to imco scx/sc and now I boat won’t plane. What fixed your issues?

Max Machine Worx out of Havasu sells this cav plate. I haven't tried one myself.
