[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 451055, member: 15266"] Well fellas, after 5 months of using up much of my spare time and energy on this conversion, she is finally ready to roll!! Got her set up and installed this past Friday and took her to the water on Sunday. Had her weighed down at tournament weight and we were doing 32mph. 2 People, 3 batteries, 12 gallons of gas, full fishing gear, cooler, livewell and 2 people and we were doing 32mph. I just need to add a splash plate on her. Think I got the height set right 1st try, so that's awesome!! This boat hops right up on plane, and man I'm telling you, I don't think any of this boat is even in the water when we are up and cooking!! The foot hangs down about 3" off the bottom of the boat and Id be totally comfortable running in 4-6" while on plane. I think the 5-6 degree deadrise is perfect for a jet boat. We didnt cavitate one time. I gotta say, Im not missing the tunnel hull one bit. Here's a video of her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGnusXUH7Ow [/QUOTE]
