Part of the issue that I am having is drive trim, currently rebuilding the drive rams. I've never really played with the drives yet. I have to spend a day in the water once things are as they should be, and see what the boat really likes.
So far, I have just been happy to be on the water, with drives tucked in ALL the way. Once we get that figured out, THEN I can start to run this thing and see what it likes.
Thank you for the input Mark, much appreciated and I will try that. It does seem to "hop" at anything under 60-65mph with no tab input, but that may have to do with tucked drives letting the bow bounce off the water instead of carrying it at a slight upward angle of 1-3 degrees. My boat did look funny in Tim's video, bouncy, bouncy.

Welcome! That is what Tres showed me and it cured my flat water hop problems, and the boat just feels more in control running it like that. Tons more he will show you in his class when you get the boat 100% dialed in. Make sure it is dialed in because you will run it hard and use almost a full tank!!

That's what I'm waiting on. I pulled a fully clogged fuel filter out of it Sunday morning, after changing a 10micron filter Saturday afternoon. I want to make sure we can run it, for what the class costs, need to be 100%.

^ I'm looking forward to it. Let me know if you wanna meet and trailer down together. Still undecided on departure date / time. It's going to be either Wednesday night, or Thursday morning.
