I found a pic of my setup. I had the pod for the throttle which IMO was much better. You can get that from JC @ Superboat. If you look close, my tab switches were infront of the throttle(though on the throttle as an add on would have been better).

I think I found the optimum trim setting! Actually, I was just looking for an excuse to use this pic!

Notice, that little black tick on my indicator is level with the bottom. My hull doesn't seem to need much positive trim to get the best speed.

Vary Nice!
Now how do you run 80mph with your glasses off?

Dave with a stock 28p Bravo, my boat did require a lot of trim.
Now with the modified prop, not so much...
