Another update. I filled the fuel tank which is close to 220 gallons and the boat rides handles much better at speed. It was able to cruise 35mph...
Just updating the thread. still have the same results. The boat handles best at speeds under 28mph. It will run faster but requires a lot of...
Just wanted to update the thread, I raised the engines one hole and did some testing and found the boat handles best when my Suzuki gauges read...
He says the boat handles great until you try and push over 30 then it’s a handful. He likes to cruise below those speeds. Pretty much every owner...

If the water is dead calm the boat will go straight, but any little wind or wake will cause instability. I have piloted a lot of boats and never...
The engines are counter rotating, I have bled the steering, made sure everything is tight, tried multiple engine trims and trim tabs, and I have...
