Hi folks,
After sum diagnosis on how my boat is behaving.
Having a bit of trouble with my MG29 and setting it up. The boat is a stock V2 with a s&b x642 prop. Batteries in the vid are 1" forward of the rear of the battery trays.
When you look at it from the front, the boat almost runs all the way out the water.
I tried moving the strut up to level with the sponsons (did the strut grind out mod) and angled the prop only slightly down. As it sat it was nowhere near as high as any of the pics I have seen. I then ran the batteries around 2" forward of the rear of the battery trays. This resulted in the back of the boat fishtailing and I could not get to WOT without the boat bouncing from side to side whilst nose high. Sorry didn't get a vid of this.
Will have to wait to try anything, pulled the boat in after a run and found the hull cracked almost half the length of the seam. I have only run about 10-11 packs through it. Great boat but I have to say I am a little disappointed if the hull can't handle a little bit of chop, at most the boat jumped out of the water maybe 4-5" at half throttle in some chop on its last run. Have sent it back for review and hopefully a warranty job.
Cheers,
BJ
