[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 429846, member: 15266"] Ok fellas, thanks for all the support and ideas!! I think you guys and ol Starkey hit the nail on the head. I went out yesterday with a good friend of mine and the boat on plane with very little slippage/cavitation in a lite chop. On glass it didn't slip at all!! It's like a whole different boat. Now the wind picked up and if the wind and current were going in a certain direction the cavitation would worsen, but I guess thats all in the game. I have the fins from outboard jets that I am going to put on for some less than stellar conditions. If I had my passenger come up to where I set, the boat hopped up on plane in one boat length and ran shallower. It was awesome. I am going to try and figure out a way to get the passenger up closer to me when running. I am also considering moving the battery up front. [/QUOTE]
