    Rise and Demise of Offshore Racing Video (BOATING CONTENT)

    That is a great clip, thanks for posting it. Also very accurate in the details of the characters and boats. I can remember when Jesse James used to come into Norwalk harbor. It was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. RIP Lavins

    Agree with you, the serpentine step evolved a bit. That said, running 1,000 hp and 110 mph produces some unique hydro dynamic forces for a 25.

    I have one now and had another years back. Very reliable platform all around. We have a 4th row seat in ours that faces backwards as well for the little league team lol

    Yacht vs. Boat

    Lorenzo Fertitta defines his "yacht" a bit differently. Look very close and you will see a boat at the stern lol

    Yep he is correct, but that is at the end of the process after experimenting.

    If the hull was built for race work it will have a full height bulkhead under the deck. I don't like lead on the drive to start, would do 50 lb sand bags on each of the swim platforms and double bag them then lash with HD zips. Very easy to add of adjust for port or starboard and reduce or add...

    new to RDP need setup help on a fast 25 step v bottom

    With big power I have a very hard time believing that any modification to the strakes is needed at all. A raised pad V is designed to pop up on that pad and ride only on the pad. Strakes play no role at those speeds at all. Fuel slosh can play a role if not baffled properly but that can be...

    You are spot on, Lance is a wealth of knowledge on the serpentine Warlock hulls. I believe he is still with Boatswains Locker in SoCal.

    Test a Solas Scorpion and a Merc Rev 4 in the biggest pitch they offer. to see what they do for your handling and hop. Should be able to get a test option on both.

    You keep talking about different pitch in the same model props. Pitch is a fine tune end of the line item. Your hull is a 24 degree raised pad V. The serpentine steps play no roll at your high speeds. List which different make/model props you have tried so far?

    If your tabs have loose pivots that can be part of the problem. I still think the biggest part is you have not cycled through enough prop options, but loose pivots in the tabs get amplified A LOT at those higher speeds and can induce some hop. The video you posted was scary. It almost...

    Forget having people in the boat those speeds. How big is the fuel tank on that thing?
