Yes, Allison. I think it's an XR2001 or perhaps a SS2000. One weighs 650 lbs, the other 900. Mine is a XB2002 and weighs 1,250 lbs with the short-shaft Merc.

Try some different props that thing is wet. I can’t see why you can’t get a lot more air under it with set up changes

I’ve tried every prop I can get my hands on over the last two years except for a full on cleaver. But with a L1 gearcase a guy can’t really surface it enough to see the benefits (also kinda scared she might get right sideways if I do). Tried messing with less set back this summer with no success, it would likely benefit from 2-4 more inches of set back but I was not in the mood to order a 10 or 12 inch bracket this summer and re rig for the 7th time to see lol.
This is kinda why I was thinking about modding the hull design with either more strakes or a pad, 14” setback should be enough to air it out a little.....

You said you were 3" below pad. Keep an eye on your water pressure and come up in 1/4 to 3/8 increments. How far have you brought it up before?

running hyd jackplate w/ water psi gauge so ive tried every height i can without sacrificing water pressure. it seems to loose the walk with higher engine heights but it doesnt seem to lift as well. if i remeber corectly with where i have it bolted curently i can jack all the way up to 1" above, maybe a tad more. it just seems to settle the best around the 3ish inches bellow the pad. running higher doesnt seem to do much more than make a cooler looking roost.

i was mostly currious on the value of adding a pad to an existing hull, it would likely help it fly better in the long run but it seems like that might be a very long and costly run to get it there. as far as setup goes i just kinda got tired of tweaking last summer and just let it be and enjoyed the water at 65mph. i believe that a tad bit more setback is the key (as ive ruled out less) but going further than 14" on the OG transom didn't seem like the right idea and it just barely fits in the shed as is lol.

Lol least its garage kept, I would agree with Gordon, cost/time would be great for not much gain,

Nice there was a short time they built them with 1.71, almost like the brp. Holy grail, hard to find, people not want to sell them when they get them
