Re: Faster Prop for V-King

Set back is the jack plate that bolts to the transom that you bolt the motor too. As for not having a cone on the lower, raise the motor up as high as you can without loosing water pressure. Blocking off the top one or two water intake holes on the lower can also help get it up higher without loosin...

Re: Faster Prop for V-King

Re: Hydrostream VISA

Re: Need new HST cover

I have a universal cover on my boat and my kids. His fits good being a smaller boat (Hydrostream Vixen), but my vulture, not so much. The boat being 20 feet, any universal cover is so big/baggy on it as these boats are such shallow boats. I would never tow with mine on there. My kids I might but his...

I think we wet the hull real good and wet the back side of the core real good and laid it down. Could maybe use some thickened resin or corebond to elim...

Re: Recore question

Thats a lot of unnecessary materials. 1708 core 1708 csm (optional) hull Thats all ya need.

Like here when I did my...
