Well. 1st time out went ......ok.
Engine had a couple of problems. Wouldn't want to run too smooth under 3000 rpms. But once it got up on plane and over 3000 rpms it really smootbed out well.
Found that the problem was the low timming screw was loose and caused the low rpm problems..
But once up on plane it really ran good and from 4000 punch it pulled like a streetbike in 3rd gear!
But every time it started to get up on the pad the chinewalk shut me down.
Setup rite now is 6" setback with 28" chopper 1" below the pad.
What prop style and pitch should i keep an eye out for?
For learning how to stay up on pad?
And later .... for top end?

if you got steering tight.....and boat pretty well balanced side to side....best prop advice = PRACTICE!
seat time will give you the biggest gains....
youll prolly wanna raise it a tad more at least

The way I teach people to drive my King is to go faster till you feel it is going bad. Don't panic. Back off just a little. Drive along and try the up/dn on the trim and get used to it. Push the go pedal a little harder, slowly increase the speed and get used to it. They usually start at 4000 (where it lifts) and normally can run it up to 5500 (it's flying now) after an hr or so.. WOT takes lot's more seat time. The boat will teach you to drive it if you pay attention to what it wants. Just be patient, you will be flying soon... Try running in big arcs if you have room. It will normally kill the chine wok effect. Going dead straight is what the chine wok gremlin likes. jm2cts

I agree with XStream.Most of the droop snoot Streams will give ya a 10/15 mph window of opportunity to learn to drive it.It will start to fly around 65 or so,and a long slow arc will tend to stabilize it.The boat will tell ya when your screwing up,learning to hear it is the key.
