That helps. It must have been more stable for a reason. tks

Right about 98 the boat gets a 'hop" in it that the tabs wont help. It doesnt have a hook . We are trying noescones. Do you think thy will help? Motors are also detunned to about 670 HP now.

Are you still spinning the Bravo 34's? What rpms's?

You may want to give great consideration to the props. I would think you could achieve greater performance from different propellers. 34P Bravo I props will never be great getting on plane...just the nature of the prop.

We have tried BBlades worked props.

We are thinking nosecones?

Would 5 blades help?

If the drive height is condusive, yes 5B props may work very well on the 35's. The X is pretty high on most Fountains , particularly after 2001 and especially the 05-07 models.

Now as for nose cones if you are trimming beyond neutral and attaining speeds greater than 80 MPH then nosecones should produce positive results, theoretically.

I have a buddy with a 2001 35 lightening with 500's and whipples and inco sc's that runs at 102 at Lake Tahoe on very sticky water at 6000 ft. of elevation. At sea level he is over 108 and is rock solid. These are gps speeds not b.s. numbers. He is running Maxum 5 blades that have been tweaked by Brett at bblades. I can pm his number to you if you would like to discuss his set up. Marshall is a great guy who loves performance boats. This boat is for sale by the way. Stay safe at these speeds. Doug

They have spacers to help the boat get on plane.
