What plate are you running now?

I have green flywheel on rite now, I gotta swap bendix on starter so i can put my lite weight back on

**nitro_rat** · 01-28-2019, 06:39 AM

what jack plate, you said you need more setback

**Merc 2.5** · 01-28-2019, 06:42 AM

O. Its detwiler 7 or 71/2 set back. 10 b perfect. Once I'm ru nine at speed trim is level , I do seem trim little more to get her fly till I reach 70 then trim starts get bumped back level ,I'm having to keep the hyd plate almost all way down ,

**Merc 2.5** · 01-28-2019, 06:43 AM

I honestly think once I get her dialed in and learn this new hull , it has a good chance to run 90

**Merc 2.5** · 01-28-2019, 07:05 AM

I need get a video of lower runnin thru water to see exactly where lower sits at speed , also drilling the mid reliefs may help little also, its loud as chit now without it drilled ,so I was hoping not to have to drill it ,

**nitro_rat** · 01-28-2019, 07:24 AM

doubt it will get too much louder

Glasstream hydrabass, should be a tag somewhere with a glasstreem logo or same town as glasstreem manufacturing plate.

I think a few models existed but memory is clouded hydra sport, hydra bass, hydra ski.

Got it yourself a good one

Thanks for that gud info there! Its doin great , gotta get a 4in spacer plate for ex setback, but boat is fast with the 2.5 pretty happy with rig and price I got it at

Well I got me a new starter and lite flywheel back on ,and new to me 8k tach, hopefully I'll have sum real #s next time out, still gotta get spacer for jackplate tho. On another note did sum runnin and fishin Sunday, I think everybody down here now has a newer nitro 20fters and such and got chance race one with 225 pro xs 2 stroke to fishin hole and it just couldn't hang , I could slow down and take off again and gap him everytime,

I got my 1st trophy plus prop bout week ago , I got the pvs plugs pretty close for great hole shot , it's a 25 cause I heard the 26s are the worst with blades and pitch being all over the place , I've ran few props on it now , not alot tho , I'm struggling to get the bow lift I want , i know I need few more in on my jackplate butni gotta get diffrent steering ( cables maxed out) which the trophy does pretty gud out of box , I'm plannin on sending it to sumone to pitch to 26 or 27 but I want em to add bow lift. So does alot of the bow lift come with extra tip cup?? I'm turning it 6500 maybe little more , haven't had it wot yet and it was with 2 people almost full fuel and I didnt have jackplate dialed in perfect. (1st test run) so all in all with sum work I think it can b made to run really good , has anyone had any experience with mark croxton props? I hear he bad ass with bassboat props. Thanks. Any info appreciated, especially bout extra bow lift

Spoke to Mark a couple times regarding props.
Seems very knowledgeable. I'm sure he's banged on a few props for your set up. Trophy's have a lot of potential

**Merc 2.5** · 06-10-2020, 05:11 PM

I'm gonna get this one worked , this boat runs good (little heavy) but its really nose heavy and I dont like it , I gotta get steering b4 I can get bigger jackplate , so I'm tryin make up for it in prop I guess ,

Been awhile since I've seen this thread , sold the ff motor and built a 240 sport jet for it with all the goodies, has offshore mid now , I was complaining early in the thread about torque steer, once it gets on pad the boat feels "loose" easy to correct chine walk and steering goes from can't turn it to drive with 1 hand , I still haven't added more setback but I'm in process this winter figuring out if I wanna put hydraulic on it or just get 2 longer cables and I'll add 2-4in setback. Has been a great bote especially for price i got it at , I'm gonna keep it 1 more yr and try find me a blazer or bullet. Not alot hot rod botes where I'm at and with offshore mid it tends to get alot looks and every now and then I'll get to run someone down the river , it's definitely hurt some feelings, especially the new Camas boats (built up the rd) just ran across the old thread and thought I'd give it update with the n[ATTACH=CONFIG]538195[/ATTACH
