Solo performance.

Not sure if this is your first cat or not.I ran a p2 a few years ago and they will run well.My first thought would be too much trim and you are pushing with the ransom.The hull you have really will get up and run pretty flat from my experience.I would suggest getting up on pad and getting up to the speeds your comfortable with get your rpms up and try bumping down the trim a small amount at a time you will get to know the feel and eventually feel the transom lift.When you realize what your feeling you will be able to do this single or with a partner.That is a pad o air packed under the boat which will gain your speed.my assumption is that you are referencing similar trim positions and you are over trimmed when alone.All bcb hulls loose speed and burn more fuel in this situation.and yes seat time will help.where do you live?

Balance, balance, balance and balance. Go to BBC website and read about this issue. There are excellent articles regarding balance of weight in regards to performance. Here is just one thing I do in my boat. passenger side, port side I will fill that tank to a certain degree to compensate for not having a co-angler in the boat. If ya spend some time with weight distribution you can over come a lot of driving, chine issues. Hope it helps. Prop selection will play a role also.

Youre over trimming as stated above and you need to learn how to drive. Once you getting the driving part down you can drive under any weight condition whether balanced or not. A Trophy prop can also help you learn to drive as there is much more forgiveness in steering mistakes and there is another blade in the water to help you balance the hull on the pad. You can read everything that you ever wanted to read about chine walk, but unless you put the seat time in youll likely never get there.

Requires less trim than a Tempest, less engine height than any of the others. Easier to drive than a Tempest, but harder to drive than a Trophy.
