    That's about all she's got I'd say..

    "They" all said it should run 80..I had my doubts, 78.X 79.X time and time again messing with it all. I've been messing with props, weight balance/ adding subtracting weight and PTP adjustments, I guess I finally figured it out yesterday. Triton TS.jpg

    + 2 MPH seems pretty significant and 80+ is smoking! What do you think the missing piece of the puzzle was for you? Congratulations that has to feel great!

    Probably current or good tailwind. Or both

    The last changes were added 10 gallons of fuel and some weight transfer in the front compartments to offset me. I'm 270 so I moved some stuff to the port side rod locker. It's also on 93 non ethanol with all the additives, previously was 87 non ethanol.

    Also note it has a completely rebuilt fuel system from Don at European Marine, fresh for this year.

    I enjoy messing with it and the performance as much as I do fishing.

    Ha! No current in the lake and it actually gets better lift with the nose in the wind, at least that the seat of the pants feeling. I can't see it driving.
