I now have 2 hours on my SHO so I was able to open her up this morning for short periods and only got 65.2 mph at 84 degree F on a humid morning. This was with half a tank of gas, tournament load, without filling the livewells and two guys. The RPMs were just under 5600.
My dealer is ordering me shims because the porpoising is pretty bad at speeds less than ~45 mph. It is supposed to be hit or miss. Hopefully that will correct the issue. Also, trying the a run with the livewells full was not very good at all. The boat was porpoising big time. Note, this is not my driving. This is my 5th bass boat and trimming all the way down doesn't correct the issue.
Any advise fellow Skeeter FXR owners?
