where are the hst guys

i run 10" of setback on mine but mine is light. reach out to Capt.Insane-o, he'll know.

In looking at all the different picture ofhst's all have different setbacks. Am looking at buying one with 2,5 300 drag motor,with about 15 " of setback. seems like a lot, will the boat ride ok at cruising speed? Boat is in the under 20' boats for sale.Is it more likely to porpoise at slower speeds? Are the transoms strong in these boats, I love the design.

Most of em run much of setback because of he weight of the HST. Balzy his old one has 16" of setback and runs real nice.

The transom is realy strong because of the design of the deck.

The only time I get porposing is with a full boat load and a full fuel tank...then all ya gotta do is just stay on the trim button a little longer than normal....no big deal at all......MY HST rides smooth at any speed

[king gill]

Well pretty much put the HST away for the year...Time to Kill some Trees and Fish now

I bought a hull and trailer a couple years ago...have a stock 200hp Mariner on it

You guys are killing me...I just stopped at my storage last night to tuck my AE-21 to bed...she was just sitting there...unrigged...with her Merc 2.5 laying right beside her..Offshore midsection fat and shiny, CLE gearcase sharp and ready...Mercury Racing cowl waxed and looking good...all of them anxious to get back on the water..waiting for the rest of the hardware to put her back together...Maybe Santa will bring me that 10" Hyd. Jack Plate, some new Livorsi gages, and the rest of the rigging to get the boat back in the water for 2010! Soon...the ressurection will begin...and the AE-21 will once again...fly accross the liquid surface... and terrorize the local waters in Jupiter, FL!!

[twogees]

Amen steve!!!!

thanks guys.really appreciate it.... for the vid i had a 29re3 and hit 102 it was right at the limiter the boat liked it but would like a 30 a bit more. might try the 30 et again. i really liked that but only ran it twice.
did the small ear 30 (chop) and it did not like that at all.

what prop you like to run w king gill, capt?

[Capt.Insane-o]

I love my Hoss Triton for everyday messing around... run the bugger into the wind on a one foot chop.
