Thanks! I was in Canton last week for work and still trying to "catch up."
I'll try tomm. for logos and then update.
Raised the jack 2" last Saturday and I'm closer. No cavitation on plane or chine walk; however, it won't "break loose" w/ family on board. Had a rare opportunity to run it without kids for about 10 min. before putting it on the trailer. It "broke loose" if that makes sense...you could feel the drag dissipate.
Anyway, High Five worked great but little top-end...amazing out of the hole. Laser 2 still working with it, need to pull 8 y.o. skiing and also top end for me. But according to my wife, it's not all about me :(
I hope to get out on Sat. after raising jack a little more. I think a four blade may be the answer if it doesn't work. Hydraulic jackplate for Christmas unlikely after todays market.

Thanks for the advice...here it is with High Five. My favorite part is very beginning with Leisl...sitting down :D

He is also doing some fiberglass windshields too. I was going to order a set from him but mine might get by with just a good cleaning and some paint.

i produce the emblems for $20 a set if you want them. i don't really sell them, but if you want me to do some for you, i will.

p.s. they are made out of west system epoxy. they look the same as original only the chrome facing is aluminum colored paint. they look good. [/color]

if I could try a 24 or 25 trophy plus in the fall and loose the seats aka extra weight
I would probably max out around 65
respectable for a 17.5ft bow rider family boat with a little motor :boating: :up:

you should have no problem pulling 60+

57mph on a 20' boat with a 135 is not bad numbers at all if you ask me. Gives me hope I will see 60 plus with my vulture and the 175 rude.

21P Vensura ( price was right )
equal to a trophy plus but large hub
keep in mind I've only got a 135 on the back and usally run with 3-4 people in the boat
it does give a nice hole shot
with only two people and nice fall crisp air it'll run up to 6200rpm so I could easily spin a 23P
top speed with this set up gps was 57
wish I had the extra cash to do more , but it'll have to do for now

sounds like you are getting yours dialed in they are a fun family boat

everything I've read the 3 blade does not hold the water like the 4 blade
I've always found the 4 to be more stabil

Thanks,

I searched everywhere. Just thought I would try.
I am curious though, what are you running (prop) on your Valero? Switched from high-five to laser 2...chine walk at 65.
Scared the crap out of me....was aware what was happening but reading about it is certainly better than experiencing. I think I'm just going to raise jackplate about 2" and try again?
Any advice appreciated.

Thats a tough one
good luck

i thought I saw someone on S&F had some awhile back , might be worth the search

I am looking for the logos that go on the passenger side and bow glovebox of my Valero. Just trying before I refinish to get rid of "shadow" from missing ones.

Thanks,

Jeff
