Man, the look on your son's face is absolutely priceless! Just wait till the first time he takes your boat out solo. Mine did it two years ago at a Poker Run he's been to every year since he was 2. (He's 19 now.) He backed the boat off the trailer, swung it around like a pro, took it out to warm it up and then made a beautiful 70 MPH pass right in front of the hotel. His smile was as big as mine. Oh, and it's not as far away as you might think!

Keith,
Took the boat out on saturday with the new set up and it worked great that 20" is just what it needed.... handles way better, fly's the bow with much less trim and gained about 3MPH with the same 28Pro ET... so now it sits between 82 and 83 on the GPS...

i am very interested to see what a labbed bravo 1 does...

Great !! No porpoising at all?

I have tried a labbed bravo I 28 (still have it). Hole shot was awesome but it gave me to much bow lift (and porpoising) for my boat so was not as fast. I had 15" set back then so hence my reducing to 12". I recently lightened my stern more and in hopes to fly mine easier and reduce stern drag.

You are doing great with that Challenger !

I think it might be time for you to try a 30 pro Et.

Good luck !
