Tom, you might want to experiment with leaving the RPM at 900-1000 when coming off plane until after the surge of water hits the transom. Just enough to keep a little more exhaust pressure up yet still slow down enough that the surge would still overtake the transom. I always did that with my 32 because it sat so low in the water it would keep the backwash from coming up the swim platform and on to the engine hatch. Plus it helps keep back wash out of the exhaust.

ok thanks,,never thought of it...makes sense ,,

Looks like a nice PQ parked next to yours. Is it a 280?

Yes it is a 280,,I think its abandoned ,,,I think the guy that owns it just walked away from it,,,heard he is looking for a beak boat,,

HaHa, that's funny, maybe he's just waiting for you to put yours on the market. Projects will be done soon, on the market by June?

Hey I remember that PQ from somewhere...
And the garage it's now sitting in. Everything looks great Tom, as always. Good call on the diesel tips, us mechanics are geniuses in disguise.

Thanks a bunch....I will order one shortly.

Did you span your brackets to bolt to the trailer on both sides of the front tongue/a frame or just one side?

Any pics??.

well boats home,,not sure about the $hit weather...

water is high,,lakes are shut down to boat traffic but I lowered at the ramp for a shake down run,,so far so good..
