Well, i got to finally get out on the water with the new to me boat and really run it. first time out had my son with me, so i didnt want to take it to fast. anyway, was able to get up to 67 on the gps pretty easy. dont think i would have had any problem hitting 70..........question though, boat has 200 johnson with 6" hyrdo plate and a 24 raker, i noticed it kept wanting to blow out when coming up on pad, just as the bow came down, would a 25 pitch help this?
