Video of me running last weekend.
 
Everyone knows i have had a lot of questions on how the boat runs. This video is props spinning in, bravo 1's, trim at 2-3 and tabs neutral. What ya think? It was a fun day :)

the props are being switched to rotate out as we speak.

what speed were you running, looks like a touch of negative tab would smooth out the ride

We were running about 4000 rpm but had 8 people. Speed was around 55. I still just can't get used to the fact that this boat hates to be trimmed. Other boats I have owned and ridden in you could trim 50-75% or so and pick up speed and still felt good. Guess these big ol heavy sonics have a lot of natural bow lift and just don't need it. As plum suggested I am having props switched to rotate out to see if that makes a difference.

On the Bravo drives, it's easy to switch rotation for test purposes. Just swap the props and run the drives in reverse to go forward. But, you gotta remember that or you'll have fun docking. :grinser010:

Get it back today with props switched... Think I will like having more control when docking anyway
