Trim posistion on 30 Daytona with boxes for top speed
Ok after doing some playing with the boat all week. Im finding it alot different than my lil 25 I had before. Once thing I notice is it seems to take an extreme amount of trim to get the top end out of the boat. Is this normal with you other guys that have 30's with extension boxes?
My 25 ran best with a just a click or two of trim above flat. This 30 seems to run best trimmed over halfway up.

It's not much past neutral, thing is we need to calibrate mech indicators, find out how many actual degrees you get per notch, mine are heads up type and your are prolly the more conventional one, seems like 3 notches past neutral and my R's go up but speed starts dropping.....

Im seeing about 7-8 on the regular mechanical style to get top speed. If I lower them the speed drops dramatically. I just wondered if it may be due to the open bow?
So far Ive seen 85-86 mph with full tanks of fuel,medium load of gear and 3 people in it. It had a lil more in it but I ran out of room to keep going.

Wayne, first you have to confrim where 7-8 actually is relative to measured neutral using a straitedge and square on the trailer. Speed sounds about right, takes a while to stretch the mild power out

Ill have to double check those measurements.I also need to adjust one indicator as its slightly off from the other one. I just think it takes alot more trim on the 30 compared to the 25 just from the looks of the rooster tails Im shooting out the back. Some of that could be the extension boxes I guess.
Thanks for the tip Ken Ill try and measure those next time Im down at the lake playing with it.

Yet another good question.
I glanced at em and they appear to be turning in.
Im sure they are set up ever how eliminator set em up. Im awaiting a call back from Eliminator to ask a few questions on why the boat is setup the way it is.

2-4' off the surface shooting back how far? Mine at WOT picking up speed appeared to be 6-8' tall and shooting back 40-50'. I spoke briefly with Eliminator today and they suggested that it would take more trim to get the open bow to top speed as opposed to the closed bow.
