Please take a look at the clip. As the title says, it is my first run on this BBY Zepheyr 27" Hydro. I am really pleased with the boat, however I was surprised that starting from a dead stop the portside sponson lifts up and the boat dances from side to side, no submarining though. I have to get to 75% and above for it to get settled. It does have two modified ride pads for higher speeds which reduces planning surface at lower speed.
I only had the stock UL-1 plastic prop with me. ( 40mm 3 blade), Ul-1 motor and Ul-1 turn fin.
Strut is same depth as the ride pads and with 1-1.5 degree of negative trim.
Here are pictures of the ride pads: DSCN1170_4692.jpg DSCN1169_4691.jpgDSCN1167_4689.jpg
Watch:56 seconds it gets unsettled and @ 1'14" it did the dance. But otherwise it was quite good.

if she took the video, could not edit out the sound!
