[100 mph jet boat]

Hi guys!!! I just got my imp.31 and have a quistion.

You mean when you look at the transom the stuffing tube is off set to the starboard side----this is normal, it is to counter the torque generated by the prop. Since the prop is rotating counter clockwise ( view from looking at the transom) the boat tends to list to the starboardside ( going full steam ). Some boats are set up so the battery is mounted on the port side, for this very reason. For the latter set up the boat actually leans to the portside when stationary, it only gets balanced when the boat is moving under power where there is a torque present.
I am sure you will get a better response from more experienced members here, let us know how you like the boat.
Cheers!

This what i was woundering as yrs ago all my nitro boats 60-70mph 31in, ran them in line with the keel and a lot bigger prop

with the motor stright and the strut has a slightest port angle it make the stuffing tube look like an S
