Rick congratulations on your new boat. Post some pictures when Mitch is done with it.
As far as loosening up the trim, thats all there is. I actually trim it up into the trailer setting just a tiney bit And if I go to far the bow gets way up there and its like I through out a parachute.
I've got a set of labbed finished 30's now and with about 10-15 gallons of fuel, just myself in the boat and about 40 degree's I ran 83 MPH. I know those may be Ideal conditions, but it will run 80 pretty much all the time.
Good luck with your new boat, keep us posted.

Kirk

With stock props I'm expecting 80-82 out of mine. But if I can go 79-80 solid with a bag of gas and a pax or two, that would be very satisfying. The REAL bonus will be doing it in a stable fashion...
With those 305's they are putting in, not a chance!

Seems as if low birth weight plays a major role in the acceleration as well.

Don't know about the "birth" weight, but it's mainly the weight on the "sticks" that count...

My '96 Dominator with a pair of fresh 502MPI's ran a best of 78.something GPS @ 5000rpm with 28P Bravo 1 (that was on Saturday 60 degree temp)

Spoke with Mark at Shoreline Marine last week and he was domo'ing his new 32 mid-cabin with 496HO's and he got 80mph gps on Smith Mountain Lake which is a few hundred feet above sea level. Also the mid-cabin carries 3-400 extra pounds due to the extra fiberglass structure up front...
