Looks amazing . Congrats ! !
Now , we all need to hear how it runs .
I can foresee a post containing terms like ' needs prop testing'

Few problems to solve, only took it to 5000rpm trim full down 60mph, 24" bravo prop, 18% slip. Cruising at 3000rpm 25% slip @ trim full down. Next test with hydromotive p5x 24"

Overal boat handeled great, no prpoising at any speed/trim angle. Too much slip! No signs of stinger hop, but guess it will come when i find som grip.

Today 64mph with hydro p5x 24". trim up does not work under load. seems that my hoses are connected wrong at the trim pump.

JaniH

ok so the trim up did not work,
that explanes why i could not get the hop

JaniH

Got my trim working, just a little tap trim up and hull is freeing up. More the speed increases the more i can trim up without cavitation. No WOT test yet.

Hydromotive p5x 24"
2700rpm=30mph=27% slip
3000rpm=33mph=27% slip
3500rpm=42mph=21% slip
4500rpm=60mph=12% slip

Boat planes nicely but trim has little to no effect under 4000rpm speeds, still it does not feel bow heavy, and rides like its on rails. Also have a bravo 24" blade, but those slip numbers make me think it is not even worth to try. Have not tried WOT speed yet, but i have feeling that the slip would lower than the 12% @4500rpm. Considering to try 1/2" drive spacer. What is the typical slip @ cruising speeds in these hulls, propshaft 4.7" below?
