Okay guys, I'm looking for opinions and or suggestions on what to do or try next. My boat's an xb02 / OMC 150 with a Titus lower, 10" of setback (hydraulic) boat is set up and loaded to fish.
A couple of days ago I was out running a borrowed 27 Trophy +, water was way to flat for serious speed testing, but turning 56-5700 rpms I managed 77.05 on my GPS (Lowrance 522) I measured the prop shaft to be 1/2" below the pad and was running just a touch of positive trim.
I know if there's a little chop on the water I'll gain some but without lightening the load will it do low 80's? And if you think it will, what prop or changes to my set up.
I'm pretty impressed with the boat ..... and myself. Only took me 2 trips to learn what input is necessary to keep it up on the pad. At 77 it rode good and felt pretty comfortable, nothing scarey about it at all.
Thanks.
