The best times of my life were when my son tasted gasoline. Have fun every single minute you can, because once they taste lipstick .. dad time seems to take a back seat.

Haha thank you and nice looking motion! Hard to tell from the pic but do you run jackplates? Looks kind of slim and I've been thinking about trying some plates with less setback to try to reduce the hop some.

Battery's up against the front bulkhead .. and I threw the 5.5" inch CMC plates in the junk pile and built my own inside out 2" plates .

100 lbs (got rid of the 25 lb battery's nuttin but trouble) forward aprox. 15' feet.

1000 lbs forward 3.5" made all the diff in the world. Before that, I wanted my 21' Super Boat back ..

They have 1.5" of up and down , which is twice as much as moving one hole. Figured if I couldn't read a tape or level , I deserved to have to move em a hole ..

Actually I have a 1"x1"x1/8" box tube with a flag welded on the end that's graduated in 1/8" from 0 to 3" ... Its four feet long , clunk it up against the bottom and slide it back to the bullet.. The answer is right in front of me ..
cost .. well scraps that were by my saw and under the shear ..
