38 cigarette trim
Hello
Just started getting the 38 Cigarette out on the water. I am having trouble getting it to plane out as fast as my 32 Fountain would. It has 525 motors, 32 pitch boavo one four blade props,approx. 1/2 fuel load,and four average adults. I have to really feather the throttle or the props break loose. What am I doing wrong or does it just take a little longer for it to plane out?? Any advice?? |
525s and 32s? Seems like a lot of prop for a large boat. What gears? Always tuck it all the way in when getting on plane

2 totally diff boats, the fountain is smaller and lighter, the cig is heavier, give it a few outings and you will get the hang of it.

What type of drives Sportmasters? I had the same boat for three years same power and Sportmaster drives the boat hates getting on plane but this is what I did. First tuck the drives all the way in and set tabs a little lower than neutral setting the tabs down too far lifts the stern up which then breaks the props free. I always made sure I had a clear path in front of me. Keep trying different tab settings it will get up on plane. Good luck Joe

I always found that with these high X sportmaster boats that slightly turning while planning helped out quite a bit. Try a big diameter prop 35 Fountain with -2's. That will embarrass you at the bouys!

What year is this 38TG in question?
Twin step or straight bottom? 525SCs or 525EFIs? |

I'm guessing t/s 525 efi's my buddy has an 03 and 32 bravo 1's is what he runs. Its and -2 lowers. Sucks getting on plane. Drop the tabs, tuck the drives and feed it throttle seems to work best for him. Right wrong or indifferent it works
