    Nitro z7 with 200 proxs

    Best setup to start with to get close?
    Running a 26 tempest unknown height 6 in plate unknown max rpms and speed due to chine. I've been right at 70 though with rpms to go I think and tons of work

    Would a 25 fury be worth a try?

    Not until you can figure out what you've got. Try raising your motor, 1/4" at a time until you lose lift or water pressure, that will help tame the wobblies down some (not usually eliminate) and then find someone who can teach you to drive to prevent the wobblies from starting.

    THEN you'll know what you've really got.

    thanks Pat, I am close and learning to drive the chine, getting better and getting into it longer every time out, just not all the way there yet.

    Just remember, you drive to prevent it from starting, someone telling you to drive out of it is bad advice.

    Re: (dchance)

    try driving to left very very slighly. Then you will feel what types of pressure need to be applied to keep it from wobbling. Soon you will be able to go straight by knowing what it should feel like by applying pressure/making slight left movements and releasing.
