[QUOTE="okavango, post: 391631, member: 14682"] Yes that all makes sense. I don't have enough time on the water yet to understand all the characteristics of the boat, but have been using the trim extensively to set the boat up with different loads. If I am conservative when opening the throttle I can get on the plane without cavitation or porpoising (1 to 6 people on board), just by manipulating trim. As I mentioned earlier when you pitch the nose up there is a definite sweet spot when the hull releases and the boat picks up a few MPH. Reverse at this stage allows me to hold the boat steady against the current and move the rear of the boat left and right, but not much more than that. Interesting the reverse is more effective with trim set nose up than nose down. I am going to try baffle the jet tunnel to divert the reverse thrust under the boat, but fear long term success lies in redesigning the reverse bucket to lower the thrust line. [/QUOTE]
