Hi Gents
I was able to put about 20 hours on the boat while I was in Florida. Be myself it performed well but still wanted to porpoise above 25 mph. I had a real mix of passengers while on vacation. Some mornings it was the gals and some mornings it was the guys. Boat performed much better but was sluggish out of the hole and trimmed poorly when I had the three large mammals on board and am confident that tucking the motor under just a bit more will solve it. I just installed a pair of transom wedges and am calling it done. In total I have added the jackplate, prop and transom shims. Now I just need to get the height right. River is open so once I finish some trolling motor and seat changes I will give her a whirl.
