I think I'm done screwing with the boat now so it's time to get the set-up right and learn to drive this thing. I can't believe how different it is then my old Astro Quickfire. Astro driving = tuck, hammer down, trim till it stops.
Here is how the Alli was set-up when I bought it. 14" of setback (allison manual), propshaft is even with the pad, The props I have are a 4 blade 28 pitch Hoss (don't know the model) or a 26 pitch Trophy. This boat was run mostly at Tenkiller Lake, OK so the elevation was a lot lower. I'm running the boat at 1100-1650 depending on which lake I go to.
Since I bought the boat I've changed the batteries (1) Optima D31 mounted in front of the gas tank towards the port side (because the trim pump and fuel system is on the starboard and (1) Optima D34M mounted in the port compartment. I also replaced the wimpy TM with a 82# Tour Edition. I know that TM weighs a lot more then the original. Everything else I've done has not added any real weight.
I've been to 84.5 mph by myself but it just doesn't feel right to me and I know this boat is capable of alot more. I've made a couple of 90 degree turns one at about 60 while letting off the gas the boat hooked right and the other time the boat hooked left while we were slowing down from 80. The first time it hooked right I know I had to much positive trim. The second time I have know idea why it did what it did espesially since it hooked left.
Help!!!
