Hey JR, sold my 280, 260, and all my 2.5 parts recently. Putting a 250xs or 300xs on shortly. Did you change your setback as well? Oh...I think I'm good on seat timeMy new 300XS is a great addition to my Grandsport and makes it a much more fun package. Would not suggest it for a new Allison Owner with little seat time.
Thanks. Me tooTed,
It is just the 5" CM hydraulic jack plate. It has a little problem trying to get on plane with 5 people in it and full fuel. The engine with 30" chopperII goes to the rev Limiter and requires a several stage approach to get it on plane. I am using my same Allison plate bolted to the sportmaster.
I think it is just too much horsepower for the ChopperII to get a grip. I intend to try a 4 blade when it gets out of break-in. Due to the abundance of horsepower it seems to run much better with passengers. The 4 non-boating passengers I carried on a rough/windy lake Saturday [Sunday School class party] just raved about how comfortable it rode in the mid 60s and one group in the high 70s.
I sure hope you like yours as much as I do.
Awesome, I will for sure have to get some new wheels. All my props will be too small!!Ted, I just ordered a 32 Yamaha Drag 4 from Tim at performance Propeller. I would have tried a 30 but it was a month out. I sure feel I have the HP to spin it. Jack Barsh and Tim both thought that would be my best choice of prop to help the holeshot. I will let you know how it works.
If I can spin the 32 drag 4 on my xb2003 with 300xs, your GS should easily spin it.Ted, I just ordered a 32 Yamaha Drag 4 from Tim at performance Propeller.

Setup:Ally03 tell me about your set up. After reading all I could find looks like anything from 4.5" to 14" will work. I ordered a 10" plate for mine. Was 15" with the 280
With the 32 drag 4 it will be "love at first sight". I just hope everyone is careful, the top end is suicidal.Picked it up today... Rain rain go away!
