Location: minocqua, wi. | steve brings up a great point on steering ... the more you trim and maximize the rpm's the stiffer and more difficult steering is and especially in turns you learn to dig and eat more water for safety of turning and over time it becomes a "feel" thing ... i guess it's easily taken for granted but something that you'll continue to learn as that boat becomes like a pair of shoes to you.
lots of folks available to help you understand the plusses and minuses on prop selection for motor performance and i think like everything there are trade-offs where you give a little of this to get some of that. just need to know what you're shooting for to make the right selection ...
good luck. oh, and i'd like to take that boat for a spin sometime! |
