    300XS first run on a 21RT

    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...

    300XS first run on a 21RT

    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...

    New to me 21

    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.

    300XS first run on a 21RT

    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...

    300XS first run on a 21RT

    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...

    300XS first run on a 21RT

    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...

    My first schiada

    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...

    300XS first run on a 21RT

    I just set up a 21RT with a 300X and was curious as to what size offset bracket you are using?

    New Schiada 21RT Interior

    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...
