    Mirage advice

    Im looking for some driving advice on my mirage. Just as I really had the hang of handling my v-king, I go and get a new boat.

    97 Mirage ski racer 225 promax. I get the boat running about 80 with very little positive trim and it feels like it is about to lift. I have heard that you should give it some negative trim and it will lift and go. It seems like as I give it even a tad bit of negative trim it porpoises real bad. Currently running a 28 yamaha. Thoughts?

    I had the same combo, Mirages like positive trim, trim it up, let it pack air and lift them trim it in. Mirages fly the bow much higher than an stv or qshots.

    What he said. I was surprised at how much higher the bow flies on these.
