I'm not sure which is more spectacular- all those same type boats in one spot or the amt of lines those telephone poles hold.

All those wires are handy to walk along when doing routine maintenance.
(BTW, I've seen a lot worse)

Quick smile then we should get back on topic.

Hey RM, glad to hear you are getting this thing off the ground.

As for your question, when I raced back in the early 90's we ran a 29' Mirage with small blocks and propped for top end. I know its different but we had to work to get it out of the hole and on plane. We switched to the big 380 size tabs and would damn near bury them while leaving the drives more to the neutral range. That seamed to get the stern up without shooting the nose into the air. Also, weight distribution in your boat will be key. Load up a little nose heavy to get on plane and then move people around the first few trips to find the best balance.
