Great thanks for the info ....not sure if ill have her in the lake this summer ...we will see how the wet sanding buffing and recoating go....as well as redoing the seats ..sound system and steering.....not even putting too much thought into the engine yet

Someone else will have to field that one for ya. I've never looked into hydraulic, and being a mechanic, I can make sense of pretty much anything, so difficulty isn't normally an issue for me. There's a bunch of really good guys here, but I'd also suggest registering on High Performance Boats Canada and Fast Boats Canada. The core group is in Southern Ontario, and there's more than just 'streams, so you'll see a ton of setups that work for different people. I stay here for 'stream specific stuff mostly, like hull and setup questions. I'm on the other 2 boards for engine specific info and get togethers. You'll find the more info you can gather the more efficiently you'll learn what you need. Others wasted the time so you don't have to lol...

Wow that's gotta be aggravating to no end....mine was recored last year and a new floor put in but I will have to focus on the steering.....it's got dual cable right now but I'm thinking about hydraulic .....any idea of the cost? As well as installation....is it difficult to put in?

I have mid speed porpoising issues, and I can't run full speed because my steering locks solid, can't correct chine walk if it happens, to answer your question lol

I've been fighting the boat all along. My NFB cable steering isn't working well, and there's a lot of weight to manage on the back of the boat. I've driven overpowered boats before, but nothing like this one. There's a balance I need to achieve, and I'm not there yet. I think the big setback was a mistake, but I'll work with it a bit more before I condemn it. It's put away for winter now, so I'll be shopping for a short mid, new gearcase (mine's cracked), and ride guide steering cables. In the spring I expect to do a recore, I know the floor has to be re-done, so I'll confirm the condition of the core and transom then. I'll use light materials and make sure the boat is well balanced side to side, and get rid of anything unnessecary (oil tank for instance). Where do you plan on running? I have family in Peterborough, I'll be running the Trent Severn a few times next year....

Def gonna pick up the jack you suggested I'm assuming with the weight I have front that the two boats with drive similar....when you say yours still isn't right...are talking about porpoising during mid speed and heavy chine?

I haven't done a lot of research on build years or used pricing, I got the motor with the boat, so that's what I've been working with. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying hanging a V6 on the back of these things is a bad idea, but it's taken me 2 years to get it this far, and it's still not right....

It's an EFI yes. I like it. There's better motors out there, but it's what I have and I'm happy with it. If I were to do it over again with the knowledge I have now I would have bought a bob's convertible jack instead of my TH Marine 6". The convertible jack has less setback, around 3.5" I think. My prop shaft height is about 1/2" under the pad, seems to work well.
