I needed a reminder! Haha
I've seen a couple PQ's change hands over the off-season. I see Calvin's 38 is for sale

My 2000 380 just got dropped off at the shop Saturday for some bottom repair and some additional rear lifting strake trimming while we are there, similar to Wildman's 99 380 blueprinting. We will see what happens.

She is done and ready to come home. Original strakes were trimmed to 21" from transom. They have been removed to 34" from transom now. All edges in the back are now sharp and surfaces very flat. No hooks found anywhere. Will be interesting to see what happens with this early 2000 hull now.

Gimme Fuel, Have you been able to try your boat out since the bottom changes?

I have Johnny. Did a quick river run. Didn't push on her too hard since had some old gas in it yet I freshened. I also figured out that the trim limit switch on my starboard drive was way out of adjustment and was limiting my trim range a bit. Also found drive toe setting was about 3/4" off too as well as removed Corsa muffler tips and installed straight through slash-cut tips with flappers. For sure much louder at idle but I think there is far less resonance at higher speeds. I still have Silent Choice as well as very tired 502 MPI motors that have slightly increased timing and limiters.

I do get more bow rise out of the hole with no tab use which is indicative of reduced stern lift. The one time I did push her WOT my GPS did not want to lock in for half of the day naturally. But with nearly a full tank of gas, and 4 adults on board, she did boogie and ride on the pad better than ever before! Bow was up a bit higher, and it felt much faster on flat water. Still can easily bounce the raised rev limiters with 28p Bravo I props at 5300 on starboard motor, runs 5100-5200 on port motor. I just received a set of stock 30p Bravo I props I traded for. Hoping those are the ticket for a little extra top speed and keeping off of the rev limiter. Still have very high prop slip at WOT and it takes a long while for speed to creep up above 64-65 mph. Stern definitely felt more planted and seemed more responsive to trim.
