[QUOTE="acolic, post: 424231, member: 12118"] I managed to get the boat out this afternoon. The water was a bit choppy but I managed to get it up to 35 MPH. The ride was wild I thought the boat was about to tear itself a part. There are five holes to set the tilt of the motor. Initially the motor was in the 4th hole away from the stern. I could not seem to get the boat to plane. The bow would not seem to go down at speed. I then tilted the motor to the 3rd middle spot and things seemed to be better. It still took a bit of time for the bow to drop. I think I will have to play around with it perhaps there is another configuration that will drop the bow down faster. Thanks [/QUOTE]
