Ran the boat today and what a difference. Cruising without the need for trim adjustment. At 30mph I lifted the Jackplate just to see what happened and I picked up 5mph without touching the throttle (going straight). It slalomed a very winding bayou effortlessly, I tightened the turns to see what would happen and she just turned tighter. It's going to be interesting to air it out with the engine up, still waiting for the right time and location. Using the Mercury Racing App today every time I plugged in the numbers up to 5000rpm with the engine all the way down the prop slip came back 9.46 or less. That's what Blueprinting the hull gets you.
