I went out on Honoye lake today with some friends and got a couple of runs in with his switzer. Here are a couple pics and a little video of the boat. Im still getting usto the feel of it and getting it up on the pad.

Very nice!!! Loving the colors on that thing for sure.

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.

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

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

Raise the motor in the top hole mike

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

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
