Default Re: Beating a Dead Horse- Please Help

I had a friend with a 23 with twin transom-mounted 235 'rudes. and with the tabs, he could get down to 16 mph on plane in calm water, but would fall off plane in any swell at that speed. With one engine tilted up, he could get on plane with a single engine, but not with both down could he get on plane on a single engine.
