I have mine on an ITS box, lots of seesawing the wheel at low speed, but I had the tabs down like I would have in the Tiger. Rick told me tabs neutral and drive neutral for low speed and it should straighten up.. main thing is with the props when it goes in gear it jumps in the water, lol

I’m doing a ITS box for sure just not sure of power yet. I have an old all aluminum 400 small block that I think would be really cool in this boat. Just not sure if I can get it to 500 horse. I was thinking 280 tabs would be fine in a 80 mph boat, or should I do 380’s?

i have 280s and mounted them flat over the last lifting strake, see the pic above, it makes the water think the boat is longer and its very sensitive to tab, I really have to get used to it. but I'm sure it will be fine once i learn the boat more and test and tune.
