the 03 is more finicky to setup for big numbers. chad will have no problems feeling out the 02.be careful chad. the 02 is a different animal.. to much trim she will come around.roy
the 02 is alot safer boat to setup for big #'s. once it gets close to being where it needs to be, I usually go up the thickness of a quarter .25$ and before it'll blow out and turn around I can put right steer into it once the bow drops and it'll pick the bow back up. I then start decelarating while veering right because the slight right steer puts more water to the prop.
you are dead nuts on the bow lift thing. Props that were too lifty on my 02's turned out to be 1off's for the 03's.My setup is different than most, as usual. I took the lip down to .035, sanded the last 4'. I'm running 14" of setback. I've only been running it with full fishing load and it run trips with 25 trophy and cut chopper. This is a little over 1" above. I've stripped her down, everything out except one battery and next weekend at Lake concordia I'm gonna feel her out with my big wheel I had for my 03. I think it'll have too much bow lift but I'll feel it out. I may have to come in with the motor. I've been going up to get my trim a tick under neutral and have reached that but that was loaded and I know it'll be a good bit different light.
