Welcome to WA boating
What do you think of the boat attitude at 4:54. That's 102MPH. Is it too low in the bow?

Near perfect! Nice flat ride. I trim till porpoise then down a click.

I'll have to try that next year. I never go over 4.5 on trim.
Now I'm trying to decide if I just replace the gears in the IMCO's (prooven) or buy the new -4SCX's. (can you ever leave well enough alone?)
Go 1.35's or keep the 1.5's
SCX has more parasitic loss but a -4 may have less drag to compensate.
Could the boat even plane with the -4?
Would I lose too much bow lift and lose MPH from plowing?
IMCO?
Reggie?
