[QUOTE="dearl, post: 431757, member: 1760"] O.k. the numbers you posted for your boat carrying that weight brings me to my point, I'm only running 8 mph faster than you with a lighter boat and a 90/65 2 stroke. Motors not the problem, the power is there, Its almost like I cant get the hull to respond without trying to jump out the water. I can go from a dead stop to 33 in a few seconds, no problem, but when I try to trim it ( and I have always had to at WOT to get to the sweet spot) its like you throw an anchor out, I know its drag but why, the stern is lighter than its ever been. I'll tell you why, the a$$ is getting pulled down lower In the water, how, no clue but I do know before when it was heavy something made the hull "break" free but now its almost like the hull is to light to get away from it. I do know its got something to do with the tunnel. I'm not convinced I'm welding it up yet, I'm going to try the things MT told me before I decide anything. If it will respond after the extension mods then I'll keep it. If not its got to go. [/QUOTE]
