Great info guys. You can see in this photo that Actions don't need any trim. This is at around 5500 rpm. Anybody tried running negative wedges?

Hey CC, what kind of prop are you running? The bottom looked kinda wet in those pics with Little John on his thread despite a lot of trim. Are you still taking it easy on your break in? I'm thinking that would explain it.

I am running a cleaver, it makes the ass end ride higher & when you trim it up the boat kinda get squirelly I want to try a srx next. I am still getting seat time in the boat also, I don't want to do anything crazy yet. The boat didn't like to fly the bow with that prop. I got a 28 chopper to try this weekend to see what happens, looking for a 30 chopper to try also.
