Default Re: Minimum Planing Speed

RED,
I had a similar problem. To maintain a lower planing speed, I put one of those 'dolfins' on my outdrive. you have to be careful around the dock as if you contact something with it, you have more surface area working smaller cross section of the cavitation plate. The cavitation can be damaged. You will loose a knot of so on your top end, but when it gets sloppy, you can trip the drive down, slow your speed stick the bow right in it and it is much more comfortable. It was really needed with the old power. we will have to see how things go with the new power. just my experience.
