you can trim it out until it feels loose. On my fountain 24 I could feel it get loose when it was over trimmed. You can trim more with a 4 or 5 blader for sure but be careful in that boat. Have Brad run it with you so he can feel it. I would try trimming it out at slower speeds to see how it reacts.
One thing to remember it you may be just simply running out of hull. That boat above 80 would be scary.... and I wouldnt want to run it trimmed too far out. Your main difference in that boat should be mid range and not top end. 0-75 in a few less seconds is priceless and I would doubt you will run WOT much during the summer anyways... too rough.

Definitely not much WOT during the summer here. Especially with my wife in the boat!

I'd love to give it a shot if you don't mind. I'm planning on coming down on Saturday unless the weather is bad. I think I may have Brad (the engine builder) with me to go over some things too. I do think it would be a big help to have him in the boat when testing.

You need a 4 blader. Toss that other one and dont ever put it back on.... sell it today and start with the 4B. Your tail may be too small. Trim it up very slowly until she starts to get loose a bit, you will feel it run squirrely and start to walk, trim her back in. You will feel it get loose for sure. You will be able to trim more with a 4 as well I think. It will run like a different boat.
How many rpms do you want to turn?

Sorry Josh, I updated on my Superboat thread. The 28P Mach I think may have had a little too much work done on her. I ran it and turned over 5200 rpm, but only saw a best of 68 mph. The hydromotive we weren't able to run because I needed a washer that I didn't get when I picked them up from Greg?
My 25P Mirage Plus still worked the best at 74.7 @ 5400 rpm. We are still thinking a 28P Bravo one is going to give us the numbers.
We need to set up a time to meet so I can get these back to you.
Thanks!
