Default SWEET RIDE!!!

It was soooooooo coooolll. Took my 23 for a ride tonight after the engines got tweaked ( 1 injector bad and the cut outshift switch sticking)I topped out at 40 kts, 100 gallons of fuel, 5200-5800 WOT. 17x15 props, twin 135 Rudes 2001 ficht sitting on Potter bracket.
One thing I found strange was that the boat ran best with the tabs up. As I trimmed up, the boat seemed to rise up - the spray moved aft - and the boat stayed level. It seems that the bracket is a giant tab under speed.
Holeshot was best with the tabs down then trim up for speed. I was worried that the 135s would be under powered but now I don't think so. This boat skipped along at this speed and I wouldn't want to go faster [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
How does this compare to other 23s?
