Hey Rob!
I took her out today without any hiccups...lol
The Stabalizer Plate Works Great!!
Little more bow lift on take off than the whale tale thinggy, sea ray I think its called, but top end is a good 7mph faster I did the Iphone speedometer GPS
( not exactly sure how accurate it is but seemed not to be to far off in my car, just slow reaction) I hit 62
at 5800, two peeps and 3/4 tank... I need to check my slip numbers, it was the 23p...which I really want to try a diffrent style prop, maybe raker or comparable, need more bow lift....The plate does allow me to trim more before blowing out than the whale tale, which in turn is allowing me to lift the bow more, but I think a better style prop than the run of the mill stock ss prop will enable me less trim for bow lift and get more speed....I also want to start tinkering with the fishin mota....
but resto awaits(atleast painting) first... I also want to figure what is the ideal setback for me, is 6 enough or should i go more? I do not want to loose to much of my handing especially in chop or rough, since I do play in the harbor some
