in his video you can see it lean over i wonder why is it counter rotating drives or 2 of the same rotation or a tab or drive not coming up? i just had a bad trim pump that would not hold the drive trimmed up as in when you put the power to it the hydraulics would open the pressure relief and the drive would go down

His video shows outward rotation std lowers, finned caps, no drive showers
he said the props were 28 pitch 5 blade power techs( can’t say I’ve heard of those)
In the other video he did, he claims it turned 67-6900 rpms
Im guessing the lean may be due to taking about 800#’s out of the wrong place
that the boat was designed for.
I saw that Coyote’s weigh only 450#s
On the LOTO video when they were out on a ride, it layed over, he said it was due to
lack of boost on the right engine, he jumped back in the engine compartment and
swapped out something that resembled a o2 sensor
If the right engine was down on power, outside rotation and a lot less weight in the rear
and the kind of power they’re making, that was probably enough to push the l/h side up

He is just a regular guy having fun with his boat... its not a multi million dollar project but something he enjoys and is happy with.... 115 out of that boat, Congratulations... and who cares if the boat leaned one way of the other, it went and went very well..... would love to see him back next year.

I saw a bunch of cool set ups and some very nice boats running on the live feed, but I did notice all the older less expensive boats didn't get the coverage or they would talk while they were running. It seemed a little biased if it wasn't a brand new boat or an expensive cat, But at least on here and on some of the facebook groups, the lil guys are getting some attention.
Also they need to put an end to the PWCs pointing their crafts directly at the radar gun. That's cheating, and doesn't give anyone the actual speed. The radar guns are calibrated to be off angle.
