i m new to this game but i find that i m learning fast, thanks to lots of time on the water and this board... awesome place for info and feedback... stoked to be a member, cheers steven...
anyway, i ve noticed that my SV runs very different depending on the water conditions... glass ie no wind and she s a pig... too much drag, more hull in the water that out... adjusting the strut and trim tabs helps a little but still the thing is slow...
it s a different story with 10 or so knots of wind on the water... 3-4" chop and the thing screams... i d say at least 8 - 10 mph faster... she s out of the water almost standing on the prop and just flying... you can even hear the note from the motor is just higher... more revs and just doing 'what a 12 cell boat is mean t to do' to quote what my mate said last week when my sv was in it s element in 4" wind chop... so much fun...
anyway, great board, good people and awesome info... again i m stoked... what difference do you guys notice in water conditions... i almost turn away from the lake and drive the 1 mile home when the water is glass... i find myself praying for wind....
whats ya story on water conditions ??
