It does tend to lean to port coming out of the hole, but it comes back level once on a plane. Rides very flat at @ 40mph. Doesn’t take much trim, and its very sensitive to trimming. So far I’ve only had it to @ 60, but there’s a lot of throttle left. The PO claims low 70’s, and said with a few tweaks (jackplate, reflash) I’d likely see 80.
I’m still learning to drive it. It’s my first performance boat. Looking forward to seeing what affect a couple hundred pounds of water ballast forward has.
it does have Lenco tabs. So far I’ve only used them when running fairly slow (wife onboard). With them about 1/2 way down it stays on plane at @ 30mph and 3000 rpm.

She looks clean and well kept! Best of luck with it. You have a picture of the transom/bracket out of the water?

Don’t have one, but I’ll get one this week and post it. It’ll be fairly easy while she’s up on the lift.

Just purchased an 85 24' with a 225 Optimax on setback bracket. Don't have enough post to do pictures yet. I will though.
