[QUOTE="Raven205, post: 482473, member: 26936"] Well had her out for a test run on a lake today. I am sad to report that the transducer mounted in toilet bowl wax did not work at speed. It would only worked when I was stopped so I moved it back to the transom. I was hoping that I could keep it inside the hull but no luck. Smart Tabs worked to increase hole shot, reduce bow rise, and reduced planning speed but did not increase the WOT speed. I tested it with them lifted and on each adjustment hole using a GPS and the GPS on the Garmin fish finder. The lowest adjustment hole still has some drag at WOT, changes the wake but the speed was a consistent 40 KPH (25 mph) with the differences only in the 0 to .4 range. I have the 40 pound actuators, it may need 30 pound actuators. Will see how they do when I get them on the river.... I will fire an email off to Nauticus to see what they advise. I did not test the ladder, the ice went off the lake yesterday.. [/QUOTE]
