Hey gents, took my sv out today with my new lower weight lipo packs (2)7.2V in series 8xl motor and carbon 45mm prop, and man oh man, this thing is a rocket. Temps nice and cool and awesome top speed but It was windy today about 20mph gusts so not too flat water. However it seemed to ride a little high in the bow but not soo much like it wanted to flip. I have adjustable trim tabs and am wondering if I should just adjust them or also adjust strut? I am kinda thinking just tabs. It did end up on its lid but cause im blind and did a spin out to rollover. Rescued by the HAMMER!!! works awesome. thanks guys.

We are finding that the best way to keep fast Super Vees on the water is to angle the strut down 1 degree and move the batteries way forward. Mind you none of our guys are crazy enough to have lipos and an 8XL !!!

Yeah, thats how we roll up here! LOL. thanks for the tip. I think I will lower the tabs just a bit for stability as well. IF I can get weather to let me run again.
