Engine was mounted at the factory. With the plate set @1/4 Im about 2 3/4-3 ” below pad. Yesterday with 72% in belly and 60% in rears, all my gear, co-anglers gear, me weighing 225, co weighing @ 205 or so (I didnt ask) and whatever water came in wells with it on auto and pumps off(about 1/2 I guess), 77 degrees outside and 65 degree water, we were runing 75.6. I have had it run 78 and change with the Fury. Maybe I need to run with palte all the way down? I have trimmed it as far as 8.2 while by my self testing props. Didnt want to go any farther yesterday with another life in the boat. I didnt have alot of steering torque and it wasnt chining much at all. I just got my 27 tempest baack from Croxton and Im going to test it next. This hull doesnt seem to like the 27 trophy(worked by Croxton as well). Holeshot was sloooww and it blew out pretty bad on nose over. Yesterday was only my second time running it hard. Seems I need to do more testing. What is your prop to pad measurement? Does it matter what hole it mounted in, as long as you can get it to the dcorrect height? I also running a Detweiller Hyd plate.
