Hey KN, you need to loosen up on the trim man....:D
|
Rick congratulations on your new boat. Post some pictures when Mitch is done with it.
As far as loosening up the trim, thats all there is. I actually trim it up into the trailer setting just a tiney bit:eek: And if I go to far the bow gets way up there and its like I through out a parachute. I've got a set of labbed finished 30's now and with about 10-15 gallons of fuel, just myself in the boat and about 40 degree's I ran 83 MPH. I know those may be Ideal conditions, but it will run 80 pretty much all the time. Good luck with your new boat, keep us posted. Kirk |
Originally posted by Reckless288 Jay you don't know how quick it is?!!! How can you not know that? You're taking it way too easy man...:D With stock props I'm expecting 80-82 out of mine. But if I can go 79-80 solid with a bag of gas and a pax or two, that would be very satisfying. The REAL bonus will be doing it in a stable fashion... |
That's 80 mph 305's....;)
|
Ya know, the odd thing is those 305's looked just like 496's...hmmmm.:cool: :D
|
I"ll have what he"s having. :) :) ::D

Don't know about the "birth" weight, but it's mainly the weight on the "sticks" that count...:D

My '96 Dominator with a pair of fresh 502MPI's ran a best of 78.something GPS @ 5000rpm with 28P Bravo 1 (that was on Saturday 60 degree temp)

Spoke with Mark at Shoreline Marine last week and he was domo'ing his new 32 mid-cabin with 496HO's and he got 80mph gps on Smith Mountain Lake which is a few hundred feet above sea level. Also the mid-cabin carries 3-400 extra pounds due to the extra fiberglass structure up front...
