Re: Planing issue
Don't underestimate the effect Smart tabs will have on your boat. it's like a Mariah was made for them.
And as for the pitching of your prop, think about it like this. it's like changing the wheels on your truck. if you put smaller wheels on it you would get higher revs on your engine but you wouldn't go any faster. in fact probably slower! And if you put bigger wheels on it the engine would struggle of the line but would eventually run on to a higher top speed at lower revs, if the engine could turn the wheels at higher rev's that is. it's a case of finding that sweet spot for your setup and how you like to drive the boat. so my advice would be as the guys have said, get the tabs on then find out how you want to change the way the boat drives. getting the stern out of the water make a lot of difference to the way these boats performs :wink_thumbup: This is me with tabs on, I know my boat is smaller and lighter than yours, but I also have less power. running straight and level http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/v...tled-1copy.jpg yes I know i'v posted this picture before http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/d010.gif |
Re: Planing issue
Andy I watched that video you posted and i really like the way you boat rides and sounds. Seems like it just rips across the water. I am currently in the process of looking at the tabs. Although with this sh*t weather were having I haven't been out on the water much lately anyway...
