Re: 1981 Vector
Looks great.
In my opinion it looks like you were trimmed a little high for top end running. Although I know how fun it is to trim up and put on a show.

Re: 1981 Vector
Yea i think you are right. It seems like maybe i need a hydrolic-jack plate to bring the prop centerline up a bit, otherwise with it down i cant get it to come up on the pad. Or do you think it could be the prop not giving me enough bow lift?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: 1981 Vector
What prop are you running and where is your propshaft in relation to the pad?

Re: 1981 Vector
Yea i think i might scott. im just worried maybe going a little higher it mght effect it getting out of the hole more.
Ill measure when i get home to see where the prop centerline is, i want to say its around 3" or so below the pad. The boat has a 26 pitch prop on it ill get the part number to try to figure out more specs on it

Re: 1981 Vector
Hey Chet the Prop centerline is about 2 1/4 from the bottom pad of the boat. The prop that it has is a Merc 26P Big Ear Chopper with weed cutters the part number is 48 89858 A-4 26P. Have you heard anything good about these props? looking to upgrade soon because this one has some cracks.
Thanks,
Mike
