I did some searches, but just could not find what I was looking for.
What are the signs that you have too much positive strut angle? I know that a loose ride is one of them.
My setup:
I am running 2 2s5000mah batteries and have my balance just a hair under 8 inches from transom. Using stock motor with a Grim 42x55 prop. The stut angle is maybe 1 or so positive. Rudder tucked under just a tad.
I just can't seem to break the 38mph barrier when I use GPS. The boat is handling better than ever. I just keep hearing a sound that to me, sounds like the prop is coming further out of the water than it should and I think that is robbing some speed. I had it out in the wind today with some chop and could not get but 39.9 out of it. I was thinking that a tail wind and chop would help a little.....but on Sunday with no wind and a glass surface only 38.2
One thing I can say is......moving the batteries forward makes a HUGE difference in the stability of the boat. Maybe I should move them back a little to see if the speed will come up some?
Thanks in advance.
