[QUOTE="wayward wayne, post: 369071, member: 15392"] Took the boat out for the first water test yesterday. The rivets all sealed nicely. The only problem I had was the pods are flush with the bottom of the boat which moved the plane surface beyond the motor. This lifted the boat up a little bit and raised the pump too far out of the water. Once it was on plane it would cavitate something fierce. I could only get it to about 40mph. I had a buddy in back and we were doing about 35mph, hit a small wake and did a complete 360. Luckily my passenger decided to ratchet strap himself in the boat. I kid you not. He definitely would have gone flying out the boat without his redneck seatbelt. I'll have to trim the bottom of the pods up so that the planing surface is further forward. I'm also going to trim the motor down.
