I was wondering the same thing. Is it up and running yet?

A number of years ago my uncle had an outboard sonic with twin 2.5's and choppers. His reacted the exact same way. As soon as the bow would roll over onto plane, the props would blow out. pull back on the sticks a bit, then get into them again and everything hooked up. It may just be the nature of choppers in this type of setup. I'm not an outboard expert though.

Hyper that is exactly how I run it. Theres alot going on at take off. First I drop the bracket till just a few inches below the cowl pan. Punch it. If I tried to ease into it to much the motors want to stumble (the nature of the 260/280s still on analog). As fast as you can ease up on the throttles then punch it hooks. The porta bracket switch is on one throttle,trim the other.It gets real busy real quick,but, once on plane I like the handling and acceleration of the props with the ability to change the X- dim. on the fly. The 32 in my avatar was a shot I pucked up somewhere. It looks like a rocketship. I like the looks , but I am happy I only have to motor$$$$. Thanks for the advice Hyper and Shore. Mike heres some more photos. Should have a video soon!!

Thanks Bob i have a few of mine on here. I liek the color of the V in the 32. A frined of mine has a 21 checkmate with a 275 Evenrude or so. The way he drive it is when takeing off, he lets the prop slip by hamming the throttle, as it come on plane he pulls it all the way back and slams it foward as fast as the eye blinks. For that split second that there is not powere it allows the prop to hook then it just takes right off. Neck snapping if you will. Last time i was wounded in battle with a cut on the elbo from that haha. NIce pics Bob
