80.3 in the Pulsare

Oh Oh... Why ya gonna smash it? I learned a few things watching my own video, I've never seen my own boat running on the pad before. Lesson one was that even though it feels like I'm trimming it to the moon, I'm not, trim is close to neutral. Rooster tail is almost non existent. IF the motor is too low, it wants to porpoise and requires much more steering input to keep it straight. In that vid I'm about 2.25" over the pad, I took a pic of the Jackplate position and I will measure it to be accurate. I am at a loss as to why these things like to chinewalk so bad, mine runs on a string. I can say the more set back I put on it, the easier it is to drive.

I would agree, especially with these Scorpion props, there is almost no rooster tail. We tend to hit propellers on things, like the ground, sunken trees, not rocks fortunately yet. But we'll see. Just think of it as a race between trying a brand new one, versus one that has had some work done on it (by the ground)

Well I'm going to end up with a 26", a 27", and a 28", so I will have one around when you need it!;)
