That's good to hear Drew!! Did Shannon set the engine back and up a bit like he wanted to? And did he get the lower coned yet?? Those things will help getting her up and rolling.

Tell him Jenn and Craig said Hi and "Way to go!" And Thanks again for serving our great country!!!! :beer:

Hey...we doing good!! LOL! Summer's flying bye and feel like we didn't get to go boating enough since the rally.

Shannon is doing well with that set up in that case. What if he got it coned and setback further, do ya think it would help or hinder? Either way 70 MPH is good for a 150 on a 20' boat!

That should do it for him. What's his setback? I think he mentioned it needed more but I don't remember. Duh!

It's only got 5" setback and will need alot more. After a little more seat time we are gonna play with it our goal is 80 mph but that might be asking alot from a 1985 2.0 150

Yeah, I think you're right Drew, more setack. At least from what I have read over the last year or so on this board for an XB03. I would have to look it up in the "Red Book", I just read something about that for the 20 footers.

Don't underestimate that 150. I bet you guys will get it there as long as it is healthy.

Go for it!
