I saw Carl at the OFF2009 Raceboat gathering and specifically asked him about how much water ballast would be appropriate for your boat. He said Potter didn't build the boat the way he designed it, and that he wouldn't bother with the ballast tank. Your observations are interesting though. Sounds like placing gear as far forward and as low as possible would be worth playing with. Did you get those props fixed? Sounds like you could go to higher pitch, now that you found that earlier run did not get to full WOT! I think that vacuum gage will help you find the "sweet spot" combination of optimum throttle/drive/tab trim. Keep us posted on what you find out! Denny
