Just got back from the Chip. This was the first time I had the boat out for different conditions. Still had the 5 blade on. 2 guys and gear, it would still blow out all the time. Top speed just over 48. Here is the strange part.....yesterday it hooked up. I figured it must be that the gas tank was down to about 1/2, but it all of a sudden grabbed and never let go again. So I opened it up to see what would happen. Wide open throttle and full trim, handled great, never lost any water pressure, and was moving at 51.3 mph. 2 different gps units showed same speed. Did this happen because the weight of the fuel was no longer pushing the bow down as much, therefore letting the engine settle in and lift the bow better? It really surprised me when it happened. It acted like the rev 4. Any other ideas why it just took off, other than the balance?
