BT,
Did you have Bravo I's?

No, am running 27p mirage plus. Bravo1 would obviously have been worse yet. I think the older hulls are set up for speed in the low to mid sixties generally. Most have a hook designed into the transom for somewhere around that speed and matched to spinning out props. Start adding power/speed and the props begin to walk up the vee created by the hull. Props spinning in make the props walk down the vee creating bow rise. Changing to spinning in really helped my boat and I am no where near your speeds. It was approaching unsafe with the props spinning out due to bow steer potential at WOT. That sums up my experience Mo. If you want to try out some 27p mirages let me know, we can meet up for a prop testing somewhere on the bay. I haven't run this year yet but if all goes well, testing some 28p b1s with my drives spinning in may be good ;)

BT :cool:

BT,
Sounds good. I just had another thought. I replaced my trim indicator cables this winter and I should check my indicator to my actual drive position to see where I am. I may not be trimmed as high as I think:rolleyes:

That would be an easy fix :) Are you spinning in or out now?

Out.

Right turns right...Left turns left

Once tuned to where you are happy, why not switch the props and try spinning in? If you do be cautious of skitishness. My boat didn't do it but it is looser for sure.

dont forget to run your drives in reverse if you switch sides with the props:D
