Maybe it works better on 18 or 22 degree bottoms.

Superbash,
If you want to go faster, your just going to need more power...
Personally, I think you have done quite a good job dialing her in...
77+mph with a single outboard on a 24' deep V is pretty darn good...
Hell, I'm going to have 100hp more and probably won't go that fast...

Bash its time to cheat alittle. Take everything out of the nose and I mean everything. I bet you take out 80 pounds of stuff. It mite not sound like alot but its not as much the weight but where it located.

My boat runs 1.5 mph faster with 10lbs beside the motor than without, the nose will fly in rough water.

fastedy, did you forget a zero or does 10lbs really make a differences?
Do you think your boat would run better with the prop deeper?
