Groper,
When I rigged my RT with the 300X, I had two motor brackets made. One at 13" and the other at 16". I have been using the 16" but the boat seems too light in the bow (like the center of gravity is too far aft) because of this I needed to keep the motor tucked in a little (especially if...
I've found that I need to run the tabs at least level with the bottom of the tunnel or the bow feels light and wants to porpoise. I wish I had mounted the tabs so they aligned with the bottom in the full up position (to basically resimble what I had before with the fixed cav plates). Then I...
I lived across the street from Rassie Harper in Lomita from '88-'94 and I'm pretty sure he did some of the lettering on this boat. It looks real familiar.
I think I might have more weight aft since my offset is 16" and my tanks are about 25 gallons each but shorter, only 48" long from the transom. I might have too much offset for the weight of the 300X but I'll first try lowering the motor to 3" below and maybe give Lee a call. You said you had a...
I have SportMaster lower 1.62 ratio turning a 24P Trophy Plus (the only prop I have tried thus far). The motor is mounted with the prop shaft about 1-1/2" below the bottom. It seems to really need the tabs at least level with the boat bottom or I need to trim in the motor to keep the bow from...
Was there any formula you used to determine that 11" was the correct offset? Mine is at 13" and it seems a little stern heavy and wants to porpoise at times. When I changed from a 225 ProMax to the 300X (about 150lbs heavier) I also changed from fixed tabs to hydraulic and have found that I need...
I had a 225 Yamaha on a 21RT. I tried a few props styles but found that the 21P High Five was a good choice for all around driveability. It was great for pulling skiers and always stayed hooked up in tight corners. It had a little trouble carrying the bow but not too bad. I believe the gear...
Wow. Some great pics. Thank you.
BTW, I just so happened to park on two skid marks that lined up with the trailer. This was at the gel coaters. I had the dash completely filled and the top blended with the transom. I've now been working on re-rigging it for a while and almost ready for the...
