Narrowing prop choices down for my checkmate predictor need help getting it stable
Currently I'm running a 13/21 Michigan wheel Apollo the speed is good 55-58 mph depending on the load and if you can hold it,wants to chine walk bad and steering is horrible I'm currently looking at a Michigan wheel ballistic in either a 13-1/4x 21 or a 13-1/2x22 which I feel will be alittle too much prop also the laser II small hub on these same sizes any help would be greatly appreciated

What type of steering are you running? Hopefully at least dual cable not the no feedback I like hydraulic best is your engine height to low? Do you have a torque tab on the skeg? Proper setup is everything

Check the motor mounts & steering... balance the weight in the boat left/right.

I used to have a 16 foot Baja and it would chine walk at 60. Practice. What V hull does not chinewalk? A slow one.

to run in the upper 60 and 70 you'll need to be 1" below the pad. dont go for a 4 blade prop. the transom lift of the 4 blade will lift the whole boat out of the water.
