He is hard to get ahold of Andy. He just got thru moving not to long ago I understand , so maybe he hasn't caught up with things yet.

Not enough hours in the day at the moment, especially as it gets dark here at 4:30pm.
But I did make some progress today, the wind screen is fixed back in its rubbers and I got the tabs fitted.

I got a 180 Shabah with the Volvo 4.3L and Cobra drive and run the 80# tabs on mine and it gets on plane quick and steers well at low speeds. It came with 40# shocks on it when I bought it and I was experiencing what you are with slow speed wondering and not being able to get the front to come down while trying to cruise.

I called and spoke to a rep at Nauticus and the highly recommended the 80# shocks for my boat so thats what I went with.

what prop are you running?

[Jgos929]

14.25" x 19" 4 blade aluminum

[Andy b]

the 4 blade prop seems to be the way for a lot of you guys in the states, i take it the primary reason for this is for towing toys.
not much call for that over here! you'll be hard pressed trying to find someone brave/stooopid enuff to be towed up and down the solent

i'm going to stick a 21x 14.1/4. 3 blade prop on and see how that goes
lets just hope i don't get to much bow lift

[Jgos929]

I got my 4 blade for that exact reason and because I usually have 4-5 adults in it so I need all get up and go I can get.
