Thanks for posting those videos Nate. Very educational for me.
Totally different experience behind your helm watching your videos, than what I'm used to. That seems to perform really well. Congrats Not sure if you have covered this before but what is your minimum planing speed? Thanks, Brandon |

Hey Brandon-
I will check on the next run for minimum planing speed. Do you mean the minimum to get up on plane or the minimum I can decelerate to and still stay on plane? Just want to make sure I'm giving you the right readout. The boat definitely has its quirks but we love it. Currently running without trim tabs so looking forward to fixing that sometime soon. Nate |

Hey Nate,
I guess I'm curious about both scenarios. Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe I saw in one of your videos, at about 3000 rpm you are cruising at about 30 mph. I'm doing about 18 mph at 3000 with a 327 chev and mercruiser II drive. I can get it down to 16 at about 2800. It falls off plane below that. I think Connor can get his rig down to 14 mph which is awesome. Just curious what you can dial her down to. I'm sure trim tabs will make a difference too. Be sure to look up Blue Heron's restore thread if you haven't done so. He made some killer extensions for his tabs out of fiberglass. Enjoy! |
