Well we have that concern but I am also I nervous about any batteries flying out and coming my way.......be sure to grab an extra bungy cord before you leave the dock

Hahahahaha!!!! Oh sh!t, I forgot I told you about that! Hahahaha...........Batteries are also not good for the environment. An extra bungy cord it is!

Scot here is quick clip it is a different set up then running a big heavy V I will need to fine tune my driving.

you can definately hear that thing barking in the the video you posted. Mine does that too if I have the bracket up where it likes it but then loads and unloads, Its still faster that way but its hard on parts so I sink the bracket more now Id rather give up a little top end and have it live.

Where do you have it trimmed (drive placement) while your barking like that?

It's trimmed to 3-31/2. It does not do it in flat or choppy water either. It was just in the rollers. The cafe carried the nose really high and no notch in the transom so the back end never skipped it was either in or out. I will play around with it I didnt notice it as much until I saw the clip. The thing sounds so sweet after 4,000 all you here are those blowers spooling up. I still have 400 rpms left. But for know I am not gonna kill it so it's not crazy expensive to do the freshen ups in the fall.

I guess none of that comes as any surprise. I suspect the x is considerably higher than on your old boat and probably accounts for most of the difference when it comes in and out of the water.




I can only watch it on my iphone at the momment, but it looks and sounds really good to me. Although, with the ****ty sound quality on my phone, I cant really hear the 'barking' in question.


It might just be that you're not all that use to being in the open water rollers. I know they throw me off as we typically deal with a lot more chop and confused water inside LIS. Either way, from what I can tell it doesn't sound like you're really surfacing the props all that hard in the video, but again it's probably hard to tell watching it on the cell phone.

That new rig of yours is a pretty big step up, so it will no doubt take some seat time to get use to it (same here too)... but it looks as though you're definitely getting there!

Sounds like Magoo and Tigger may be set up very similar. When we ( Magoo and Moby) went out early in the season, I could hear his engines barking while riding next to him, with a 1 foot chop or so. Jeffs advantage is he can just lower his hydraulic jack plate and problem solved. Maybe Jeff will take you out in Magoo so you could watch him handle a boat set up like you two have? Just my .02

They may be set up similar but I look cooler doing...no??????

The Carerra was good for that spun the props all the time

Now that I think of it a boat that has a setup more similar to Magoo would be this porpising vessel watch the video at 1:45 and hang on.

WARNING*** If you easily become sea sick you may want to to take some dramamine before watching
