2011 PII w/26 Fury set 2 3/4″ below the pad. Light load 73-74.6. Full load 69-72+. Just bought a 25 Fury to run. The performance of the 26 on top is impressive, but I think the boat would handle even better with a 25 Fury set 3 1/2″ below the pad. If you have a jack plate, may I suggest you measure engine height instead of relationship to the inner and outer plates on your jack plate. Seems like there is a post on here about how to do this. If you dont have time to research it, do the following:1. park your boat on a level surface. get a carpenters level to insure it is level. You can use the trailer jack to make adjustments.2. trim your engine down to level. you will need to use a small carpenter level for this. recheck to make sure your boat on the trailer is still level.3. Measure the height from the ground to the center of your prop shaft and jot it down.4. Measure the height from the ground to the bottom of your running pad.5. The difference between the prop shaft and running pad reflect how much (below the pad) you are.Your post also does not reflect how much seat time you have. Chinewalking bad may mean different things to each person. Seat time will help this. Depending on where you are located, you may be able to get another PII owner to help–just a thought. Some boats handle better with a heavier load. Mine seems to do better with a full tank of fuel.Gary (GRR884) is correct about the trim as this combo does not require the trim a lot of rigs take.
