[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 444630, member: 13140"] That was a very cool post. We all like shallow and you showed how to do it. We like speed too. Notice the fastest speed is with the lowest height. You got more leverage to carry the bow is why. Last two boats I owned benefited speed wise from a lower height. Best trim beats max height everytime for top end. The best I've seen is when you can get the max trim by being deep and then go up to get that 200 rpm of slip your charts are showing but you have to have the rpm room up top. Of coarse the right prop, weight balance yada yada are all in the equation to max out what you have. My old 16' Valco went from 28 mph to 37 mph just from tweeting all the setup. It was mounted way to high and trimmed way too low to stop ventilating. That boat came to life once I was able to trim it up. [/QUOTE]
