I’ve seen a lot of post about nitro boats with the same issues I’ve had so I would like to share my story and where I stand with the boat now. I bought the boat used never test drove before I purchased my mistake. I took the boat out 1st time didn’t think it would ever get on plane. The boat just plowed wouldn’t get on pad. Added 6” manual jack plate helped a little not much. Was aggravated took boat to local shop discovered hooked hull found out this wasn’t uncommon this year in the z7. Wasn’t under warranty due to I was 3rd owner so I moved forward with fixing the hook total was 3,000 bucks. Finally got my boat back and the results were amazing was running 56 on gps with 2 people and loaded. Was happy with everything thing but hole shot was running 23 pitch tempest which I had progressive pitch put in blades helped but was still slow on hole shot. Did some heavy research on props and ended up buying a bravo 1 FS 23 pitch and this prop put a smile on my face. My results from this prop was crazy hole shot excellent mid to top end 54mph loaded 2 people 5500rpm. I’m extremely happy with everything I’ve done so for the only item left is wish I could get more trim the 20degrees that the set up allows just don’t seem to be enough. I’m currently debating on 2 degree positive trim transom wedges anyone ever installed wedges.
