Delta Force 33" Speed Questions...

[Rumdog]

Gps is more accurate than the speedometer in my car, therfore it is accurate enough for me to believe it when in my boat. I don't see how a couple guys with stopwatches would be more accurate, especially when factoring in reaction time and human error.

I guess the GPS issue is an ongoing debate... I am just happy to see the boat skimming across the water and making my palms sweat!

I am glad that it worked for you, enjoy!

Disar is the winner!, The mystery is solved. I just did a run and turned up the trim tabs quite a bit. The results:
M445, 126.62amps (peak) 3727wp, 54.2mph!
The boat was running on the edge of stability, but now that I undertand what was holding me back I am going to dial in a bit more on the trim tabs and then also move the batteries forward until I get the right blend of speed and control. Thanks everyone for your help!!!

Congrat on the result, anyway have u ever tried without using the trim tab?

Interesting comment Mel279. I had heard somewhere that the DF practically does not need trim tabs. Maybe I will experiment with that at some point. I have two days left on the river for spring break so I aim to make the most of my time...
