Grandsport hooked hard right slowing down with 3.0!!

[Mrzip]

i might take that GS....

250xb, 8" manual plate, 1.62 SM, tight-worked 30et copy, 1/4" over pad. Before someone says too high, etc... I ran 5/8" over with same prop when it had the 225. The boat did NOT BLOW OUT, it hooked while decelerating. Ran just under 100 very easily and I'm sure I would've raised it more had this not have happened and easily run over 100.... Not now!

I may let it go if the price is right.

for what it is worth, I have been running an Allison since the early 90's, when I used to play with top end runs I never found it beneficial to run with the prop shaft higher than the pad, I know some people do. My 2003 has been 105 with a 280, 2002 well above 100, like some others I have never hooked an Allison, in fact I have only been scared once, that being said I do not do any top end runs anymore, just to old I guess. Also I never felt the need to do anything to the pad, the man that designed it knows more than I do. I wish you luck, don't give up, remember any boat can bite you at any time.

I've said it before, they all need to be respected.

Not nicked named a hooker for no reason just soon as ya give it to it never know the rucking your going to get in return just like a dirty old hooka loaded with std's and not a Stv

[200valeroyt]

Yep

[Mr. Demeanor]

Your ET cope is also 15" correct? That lets you ru higher and stay hooked up.

[200valeroyt]

It's right at 14.875

If you cant chop the throttle something is wrong I can run 105 and chop it in mine any time and its a half inch under the pad....

[200valeroyt]

Is yours a 3.0?

[jasonpijanowski]

No its a 20 inch 280 I wouldn't want a 3.0 on it...

[200valeroyt]

I see, we're talking 2 different things.

[jasonpijanowski]

I can tell you this the motor is to high and you need more seat time lots of it,thats all I will say...

[200valeroyt]

Im glad you have everything figured out for me. Thanks, have you had one with a non-ratcheting case?
