Well that's what I meant. I just called it spinning in. My buddy's 93 fountain is rh, I'm assuming it had something to do with stepped hulls. I have noticed mine has the most speed trimmed up to 6.5 while he doesn't have to trim his up as much.

Hey Harleyrider my 96 29 has twin 500 efis at 600hp each with 30 p labbed hydromotives. last run I made in october hit 94 and was banging the rev limiters. The difference with the chine walk is I put a set of modified 380 tabs on. It added about a foot more of tab at level keeps it stable at any speed plus the more seat time you have in your boat the easier it gets. The key is if it starts to chine walk just bump the tabs down to 5 then slowly bring it back to level as you accelerate. With that setup mine rarely chinewalks and if it does its corrected in no time. I dont have the stops on mine but 3 is level with the bottom, trim at about 5.5 to 6. Runs on rails at that speed never feel likes it getting out of control. If you could find a set of 380 plates it does make a difference! Oh by the way my props turn in

With your labbed Hydro 30's, is the diameter the stock 15.5" or has the diameter been reduced?

I also have modified 380 tabs on mine, but it still chine walks terrible. Mine is a non-stepped hull given the vintage (1988). I am running stock diameter bravo 1's.

If I remember correctly, 3 mph that was with a handheld gps I never swapped it back to see with the garmin 740 Besides I swear I could just feel the difference.
