Here is that Vid that Steve was talking about. I have spoken with one of the designers of the boat (Andy Pallotta) here in Ontario and he was saying that as a V boat, they are not designed to run the last 1/3 of the boat like bass boats. You can run them there with setup and will increase speed, however you will drastically reduce the ride and comfort level. He went on to say that many guy typically try to setup their proVs like this too an usually describe the ride as harsh. The v boats (similar to Ranger 620s) are designed to ride flat and have the V bottom used to its capacity... displace water. This is one for smooth big water/ big wave ride and two keep you dry.
However, saying your boat run 53mph... it does sound like you are down a few MPH. Rigged with a 225, you should be between 58-60+mph (from what I am told). |
