After sleeping on it drive depth may be an issue also with the outboards vs. I/O. I drive buy the seat of my pants in my little Talon. I am turning in on my Talon ,but they recommend turning out. At 160 mph in steves 36 I couldn't tell any diffrence in or out, but we did have some chop to break surface tension. We have chased Bill Plyburn up and down the east coast and blown up more times than I can remember. Bill usually gives us just enough line to hang ourselves. Your the only quad outboard I have read about. I remember seeing Pauls and wasn't suprised when he went back to twins on his 32.

He is in England for the D-Day celebration at some castle. I will ask him and get back to you as soon as I can contact him. He doesn't text much and likes to drink alot so....... I tried Friday and got no responce. Will try again now Dave. Check with TZrider (Paul) with the quad 32 Skater as I'm sure he could help. Gary Ballough would be an excellent source of info as Paul and Gary ran his 32 and I bet Gary had alot of input on the setup if he is in country.

Good one Bob
I haven't gotten back in the water yet but I'm getting close.
Powerhead came back from Diamond, looks like new out of the box (that's always a plus).
My first experience with Diamond so far, so good.
Finishing up the connections on everything this week, hope to have in the water this weekend, I let you know how it goes

.
Just noticed that David's outboards have a special exhaust on the mids, whereas this 280 engine doesn't
What's the difference in models?
