I picked up my new to me 2004 27 Fever and took her out for a ride . I have only ran donzi classics for the past 12 years so there is a learning curve . I didn't open it up as I am trying to learn the different drive and tab placements but I did run it up to about 55 . Great experience !

Good deal! Just remember you trim differently than the Donzi when turning. Tight turns at speed that is.

Your boat should have a performance sheet with it, tells you the settings that were set up from Fountain.
On a 27 Fever, it is probably close to these
Trim all in, tabs all down to take off.
Mid range Trim 2 or 3, tabs 3
WOT, Trim 5, tabs 1
Let me know what power you have I have owned two 27 Fevers, great boat, Oh but the fuel gauge sucks, when it starts to bounce around you need to go get fuel, if it gets to empty, your empty,SERIOUSLY.

Welcome to the club!
I just completed my first season with a Fever 27, having helmed quite a number of other different boats throughout the years.
And I can tell you, this is by far the most reactive to trim and tabs settings.
But being her reactions so obvious, you'll quickly learn how to master them and get the most out of her.
Do you have the stock 496HO with Bravo, or some more exotic rigging?
