Thanks for the Tips, I will reset the height of the motor and see if it gets better. I noticed the amount of trim affects the drivability greatly.

My guess you are over trimming and not level from side to side. Do not get on the trim and go crazy with it. Starting out trim to the low
2s on the smart craft and let the boat come to you, once the speed stops climbing hit the trim again but not very much at a time
unit you have some seat time. Place a level 3 to 4 ft long across the front deck, move or add weight to make the boat set level
with you in the driver seat. The 20 fts ride flat so do not try to fly the bow.
The most important thing to remember is, NEVER DUMP THE GAS AT ANY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. Trim down then off the gas.
Thanks for the info, I'm sure it will help. Reset Height on motor seemed to help some, fished a tournament on Toledo this week end, but did not have time to stretch it out with my partner in the boat.
THANKS for the Help

I'm pretty sure I saw that boat in the back of Carrice Creek on Toledo Bend last week. If so it is in fact a beauty and looked like it was going 100 sitting still. We were in the black with red trim bass cat and we exchanged hello's.

Lost a Blade on My 30" Pro ET , Anybody have any dealings with BBlade Blaster Prop, Looks just like a copy of the Pro ET, They say it is a new compound just a little stiffer and does not have a problem with blades cracking. Also a better price.

I just got on to tell you not to run your prop. Steve at R &R Marine located here in Pittsburg
said you had come by and he had told you your boat was going to have big problems
if the blade on the prop came off at the wrong time. Had 3 cracks, right? Always check you prop
because of the height we run them. Call Josh (972 989 2119) or Matt (903 753 7867), both are good guys
and do our props. Next time get Steve to call me and we can find a place to eat while you are waiting on
your boat.
Thanks Rex1, I did not run the cracked prop, Ordered a new BBlades, Blaster Prop and Hub kit should be here Monday. 30 Pitch copy of the Pro ET
