man I could use some help with some questions
What size props do you have and do you only trim yours to about 6 or 6.5
how ofter do you check drive oil for water and lever
how many hours do you have on yours
does yours run faster in ruff water like this boat

My indicators are mounted on top the dash so I think they are opposite of yours.....but I only trim them 1.25 to 2 spots.....I am currently running 37 pitch 17 inch 6 blade herrings....at 50 hours I changed all the fluids and I currently have about 70 hours on it....it performs best in a 1-3 foot chop...if you have the oppurtunity to ride with someone with a lot of seat time (like Scott) in different conditons it is invaluable....despite what many say these hulls are incredible in rough water and knowing how trim them while turning in various conditions is very important.....I am still learning and become more impressed everytime I take it out.....you have an awesome ride....have fun

Everything you said is true I ran 102 full tanks and 5 people each time i drive the boat the better it feels your always looking for the sweet spot on this boat
what a f--ken boat I love to drive it. we are going on some poker runs with it to the keys, thanks for all the kind words
Oh! by the way do you ever check the drive oil on your boat and if so what do you do to check it

Why is this the first I have heard about this? Guess I will have to find some special leg brace to keep my leg intact so I can put my boat in the water for this! lol
