Thanks I wasn't sure if anyone else would reply, heck with over 200 views and two people now chiming in I really do appreciate it. This boat is my fishing boat but I do like to go fast.
You're right tonight I will start taking some notes for what I have done so far, I'm not sure if I should raise the engine up one more hole or try and bend the tabs a spec more?
I'm leaning towards raising the motor up one hole on the transom because I feel the tabs are bent pretty close to equally and I'd hate to bend them more and end up screwing up and loosing the progress I already have.
I think I'll go up one hole on the motor because i can easily come back down if i need to.
I may do that tonight and try again tomorrow and see what happens.
Thanks for posting that homemade trim tab I may end up going to that later on. This style trim tab how long is it across?? and should I maybe even make them wider?
I see the plate looks like maybe aluminum, is the hinge stainless??
I will go with another prop down the road but kinda want to experiment and get the most that I can with the setup and it's good learning experience.
I'd like to know could I see 50 or 55mph from this boat and motor setup? I know this motor can't be hopped up because it is fuel injected I'm sure there is more that can be done with the carb version and who knows later on I may want to look for the carb version of this motor or maybe a mercury 40 to play with.
I have to say though this speed stuff is addicting
Thanks
Chris
