Default Re: Seafari CG and stern-lifting props

I thought stern squat was eliminated by they porta-potty in the cabin

How quickly should I rise to plane in seconds, and at roughly what rpm or minimum mph should I get to and stay on plane.

I definitely concur on keeping the bow down in the chop and let the razor's edge cut away.

Thanks for the feedback. When I've asked some prop shops for a stern lifting prop in stainless that will run like the black max they all look at me funny and ask "are you sure you want stern lift, and why?" I tell them that's what the Seafari mentors tell me, now I have a few more reasons. And those coming from the guy with the fastest looking Ferrari, I mean Seafari of all, well sir, that's validation! And a new vocabulary entry: stern squat...that's like, when your really serious about taking a dump, right? Classic!
