Yes the boat had hydraulic jack plates that were not trimming equally and were setup so high the engines lost water pressure with a bump of the up switch.

He had Boat Customs install some manual jack plates and is slowly raising them up to find the sweet spot. He also is playing with props.

The other part of the spray you might notice comes from the tunnel tab that was just installed. Its about the size of a standard 280/380 k plane and works amazing! There is very minimal hop and the boat handles and corners amazing. Yes he knows the dangers of a tunnel tab and this boat feels great with one installed.

The next step is to install water pickups but the boat is for sale since he has a badass Nordic 28ss and another single outboard cat.

Glad you all enjoy the video it was a great day out cruising and testing the setup. Not running really hard but the boat felt great and didn't even feel the chop.

Boat looks nice but he's gonna have some issue with water ingestion the way those motors are setup. see example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfx6l8q3lSw
He's gonna have a surprise when one of the tps sensors gets wet and he loses power.

The video makes the water look much closer to the engines then it really is. Thanks for the advice though.
