    I'm running 6 1/2" setback now. I started out with just 3" because I was worried about the weight of the OMC motor.

    It handles much better now with the extra setback, but I've got a little more ballast in the drivers seat than you do and I have the battery mounted in front of the driver.

    Well looks like I have found a new home...lol I just bought a 1988 19' Laser 3880 Flippin bass boat. I got it Sat. It has a Suzuiki 175 oil injected motor on it right now but it has a burnt piston. I was going to put my Johnson GT 150 on it because I know nothing about a Suzuiki motor. Well just wanted to say hi to all the Laser fans and get your opinions on the 3880 Flippin since I haven't seen it mentioned.

    Hey DJ.. welcome!!!

    the 3880 is a great bass boat! same hull as the 380 Ray. My uncle had a brand new one back in '89 i believe..with a 200 Pro Max.. ran mid 80's!

    I know mine is a 88' and it says it is only rated for 185 max hp. I haven't had it on the water yet but I can't wait to see how it does. I wonder what it will run with the 84' Johnson GT 150?

    I had a 1987 420 Laser with a 200 XP Evinrude on it. The Boat is in the Laser Boat catalog from 1990. I also had a 1989 380 kevlar hull center steering with the same engine on it. 420 ran 84 to 87 mph and the 380 ran 92 to 96 mph depending on the day. I still have the original catalog for these boats. I miss both of them, they were a blast to drive.

    How do these boats do in rough water? I fish alot on bigger lakes when I can and was hoping since it is a 19' boat that I would ride good in choppy water. Don't get me wrong I know very few boats perform good in waves bigger than 3 feet or so. What I'm mean is, will it bet you to death in choppy water. I have been in a couple of newer boats (18' and 19') that made you feel like you were a couple of inches shorter I moderate waves let alone a 2 to 3 foot chop.

    DJ, the Laser is a SWEET big water boat... not "too" big, but you know... I've been in some pretty good sized stuff and never had any problems. They are a driver's boat for sure though.

    380 Laser

    I am in the process of putting together a 380 Laser. It is a 1987 model. The boat was stuffed in the early 90's and it put a hole in the front deck and blew out the back corner of the deck. I just about have the boat repaired. It weighs right around 600 lbs bare(it has no floor,just stringers and no foam). It came with an almost new factory interior. I figure it should be about 1200lbs rigged ready for the water(without driver). I have a pretty healthy 2.5 Merc that I am going to hang on it. The engine should pull around 300 hp(without the nitrous). My questions are about set up. With this kind of power should this hull need much setback if any? Also a good recomendation for a prop on this hull with this kinda power(it's just a lake/play toy so top speed is my only concern).
