Boats covered in gelcoat dust from the cover down, needs a bath before it goes back in the salt.
Thin spots and other issues, the hatch is 100 times better than it was in the beginning of this thread,
At least it fits in the hole.

Ok in the water today, with indicators this time. Problem is the new dash is too thick for the little spring loaded plastic buttons, they keep popping out.
No problem, bust out the wood lathe and make new ones, a little resin and some custom paint work and nobody's the wiser.
26 foot long cable routed thru port tube and lined up nice with the other cables that all run in pairs

Great weather today, 74* little wind 1 foot or less chop, boat ran great, the electronic gismos not so much.
With the 23 mirage plus @ 5k the boat goes 66 gps, i can ease the throttle up to 5150 then still have an inch of throw left. Safe to say the 25 mirage plus should be happy.
Boat doesnt like trim, anything past parrallel it starts losing speed, but didnt keep going up,
just tapped it back down.
This is with the engine moved a foot forward, probably be worse if it was located stock, had the option to go 2 feet forward in the beginning of this whole thing but that would've cost minimum 20 gallons of gas and the standing room behind the bolsters.
Boat likes port tab, needs it at anything over 26-2800 rpm all the way up to 5k, into or with the wind.
Not happy about that.
The ducts work, with the wingnuts holding the firewall closed taken off, the air coming in blows it open soon as it hops up on plane.
Have these knock off gopros both with remote, 1 camera wont upload to youtube (settings)
the other 1 only recorded once and it should have been mounted lower
Warning, youll never get these 3 minutes back

Hey Dan, thanks again for the cover, if you’re not gaining any speed above neutral with the 3 blade you’re going to need to add a blade. Even though if you’re tach is right you’re under 12 percent slip. Having that port list A lefty prop will help that a ton. I have setup some 23 wellcraft novas that had that exact problem until we went with a lefty, they both had the Propshaft around 5” below the bottom . I have a 25 rev 4 righty and a 24 bravo one righty just let me know and I’ll ship either one to you to try. The rev 4 will give you all the bow lift you would want. I think you’re on the right track.

Thank you, want to see a pic of that cover once you get it installed.
In the water today,
1 foot chop, temp maybe 70, tabs full up and a little more trim ran much better, and a little faster.
Not much lean at all, was probably doing something wrong last time, (actually kinda know what i did)
4th time in the water so still have to learn how to drive it, or what it really likes i guess.
Still the camera and mercmonitor fiasco, had 2 cameras test fine and neither recorded when they were needed.
Mercmonitor doesnt show air temp, no beep and scrolling thru it while flushing the engine now its really screwed up,
tri screen to fullscreen and back, think its in night mode now,
video tutorial and real life, one things got nothing to do with the other.
Merry Christmas
