what is the strut angle?
also just for sh and giggles put a straight edge on the bottom and see if you have a rocker or hooked bottomComment
-
no hook angle is up not sure a perfect degree but its angled up should i raise it and level the strut by bending the stuffing tube

raise it to 3/16 and make it level with the bottom of the sponsons, yes sometimes it's necessary to bend the stuffing tube just go easy
raise or lower the strut will raise or lower the stern of the boat, angle the prop up or down will raise the bow up or down
so if the prop is angled up it will pick the bow upLast edited by 100 mph jet boat; 11-09-2012, 04:19 PM.Comment

3/16 above the sponsonsIm Only Responsible For What I Say Not For What You UnderstandComment

i fixed it
I set the boat flat on a table then roll a drill bit under the strut
note all settings and what changes it made and do 1 change at a time
it takes time to get it right so dont get upset with it, as to me doing set up stuff and checking speed and handling is the most funComment
