    I have now ran it for some hours with one person aboard. Transom is approx 3 cm too tall and there could also be some degrees more (2...4) angle in the transom. In tight turns propeller ventilates and looses its grip when speed is over 10 knots. It is though possible to manouver "normally". If an outboard "bracket clamp pin" is not in the bow down (lowest) position, propeller ventilates when full throttle and driving straigt course. I have thought could a "hydrofoil" assembly in cavitation plate do some effort against ventilation?
