Sending it back to Missouri to move the motors backward. Rigged wrong originally. CG is off. Wish I knew it while Brad still had it up there. Hopefully will only take a couple three weeks.

What is the issue? Transom lift? That seems drastic with no more testing than you have done.

jason why would you do that, they ran it several years like that at 140plus i think if it would had needed that then they have already done that, remember just because it works on some hulls it may hurt yours. what seems to be the prob, quit listening to everyone and put it in the water and learn the boat then over the winter if it needs it then move them back, why do you think they need to be moved?

We tried some 5 blades that helped but I was in the boat and trust me, they need to be moved.

Have You Guys Ever Wrenched On A Boat To Kno The Effects Of Moving The Center Of Grav? Can Tou Tell Thats Where They Originally Should Be, Why Would They Build It Like That, And Now You Need Them Moved Back? not saying you dont know but it ran well before, there are things you can do to props to change the way it handles, i just cant see all that work for nothing.
