Good thing there was a little ripple on the water or he would'a got Buck Nasty! On flat water you will get in a cork screw porpoise that's so bad you would have to be Cole Trickle to drive through it. Luckily there is one small trick to completely eliminate it.

Is it the weight of the 3.0s? The one I have the most experience with is a 24 raceboat (heavy) with 2.5 260s bolted right on the transom...runs 100 and only has a very slight hop around 85 then flattens right out. All the others I ran had 2.5s as well, but werent raceboats

I meant from the poker run, it seemed like every stop we made I got a thousand questions.. Had one guy tell me he used to own one, but finally mentioned it was an Allison (which is like almost the same thing, right?! lol)

Gotta come up and go for a ride sometime soon! Ive got a whole box full of parts I need to put on. It really bugs me that it doesnt have trim indicators.
And I gotta research what to do about the water pressure alarm. At about 90, with a ripple, anytime the boat comes out of the water, the low water pressure siren goes off..
