This mornings test was a little inconclusive. First few mins of it looked better. The boat wasn't chining as much. I was able to hold WOT and make some decent passes. Then noticed the boat wasnt tracking straight and had to adjust the rudder trim to fix( I'm guessing because the force exserted on the hull isn't in the center line of the hull). After that it seemed to want to torque roll over on it side worse at low/mid speeds. But would still go ok at wot. Then there was a drive line failure. at first i thought it was lvc. But the boat wasn't moving. Then thought I lost a prop because i could still steer the boat. Sent out the rescue boat to get her back. Found out the collet started to slip on the shaft. It was pretty tight in there too odd how it lost the bite.
I think I'm going to move the strut & stuffing tube back over to center of the hull but keep it up a bit from the stock location.
Gps recorded 55.4mph on this run.
