hydrostream vector goes 102

[Capt.Insane-o]

Mine has a stock bottom, being a 76 it has the pronounced hook and drives very different from my viper. It gave two warnings in half a second the third was a smack off the side of the boat. I set the limiter back to 7k and it's gonna stay there.

I went a few more than that last week with a 28 ET before it tried to kill me. So I'm all done with that ****.

lmao...please elaborate

mine hasnt done anything stupid that wasnt antagonized by me.....i feel if i had stock bottom itd be faster

what motor u running ? 7k.? come on live a little!!

What kind of r's is it turning?

8100 with the 28.....101.5
7700 with the 30......103.5

i think im just a tick too high....boats faster with a full tank so im thinking the weight is getting the prop hooked up better

Whats the diff between SST120 and champ?

[texasvector]

How should I go about (very carefully) figuring out if I need some additional positive bumps?

if you bump it up and rpm increase but speed does not.....go back down!!!

the trophy i would think would have alot of bow lift and carrying abililty ....try a srx, ET, hoss triton, offshore cut chopper....even a et cut chopper is great

I guess my concern with bumping the trim up at very high speeds is getting too much air under the boat?

Trophy may have too much bow lift, been ok so far, I like the way it feels, but don't have a lot to compare it to in this boat. I do have a full interior and a 25 gallon fuel cell in the bow ( previous owner). But also has a big #450 motor in the back. Feels balanced pretty well though, doesn't feel too heavy or light in the bow.

put the fuel tank in rear..centered......move battery up front if need be.....more consistent that way

I’m assuming you’re asking the difference between a sst120 and 2.0 Champ?
sst120 was a steel bore, carbuerated, fat block 2.0 specifically for the sst120 class....rated from 180 to 200hp
2.0 Champ was only made for a few years, and was a nic bore case injected, heavily ported, designed for the champ series, and 300+hp

This is what I’ve always thought.....could be wrong tho, as I have no real experience with either powerhead.

there is (was) also a 2.5 designated "champ" motor that's in reality tha s3000...….
