what does drive down in the tabs up do. put it at 3 grand -3200 just let it eat. my **** has surface props and planes off with 7 people like nothing. it just takes a little bit sometimes. I have heard that stock maximus 5 blade last pretty long as you don't **** with them. 32 maximus should be the same is 32 6 blade hering according to jeff. I will be able to let you know for sure if I can ever test my boat have not been able to test because my ****ing drive is still broke. didn't even get a full tank of fuel through it some drive guy ****ed it up

Well I suppose the way that Reggie Sr showed both TRL505 and myself how to plane a boat two weeks ago with high X-dimensions was wrong then....you guys should probably call him and give him some advice...Im sure it will be well received.

I have a stock x dim twin step 38 with standard xr lowers, I was just stating what works best for me in response to mcpro. Truely mine planes fastest with tabs up drives down and only two people in it, I have not had a boat load in the back to see if the tabs are needed. My tabs are like brakes

full staggered with shorties are completely differnt then pre-2007 38 fountains-they are notorious for taking thier time to get up on plane but are extremely fast! any one with 07 and newer experience these issues??

buddy/customer has a 2006 42
was a BEAR to get on plane,,,,,put 2 inch spacers in and it crawls right on plane now and actually gained a few mph on the top end.
also drives different, it seems like it has enough grip now to carry the bow

Just found out to day that my Lower took a **** and all the stuff in my upper is being replaced because of it. ( according to my drive guy) Good news. he is finally working on it. And I have 2 stock lowers here for parts that will fit.
