[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 435735, member: 3278"] [size=5]Stumpalump is on the right track here. Start with the trim pin in the hole closest to the boat. Run the boat with your normal load at that position. Should be able to get right up on plane and go. Next, move the trim pin out a hole and try it again. Try this until you get a characteristic you do not like. Porpoising or inability to plane the boat. Do this before you spend any money changing prop pitch. To further optimize the boat you can move your load around in the boat at any of the trim positions and see how it affects the running. [/size] [/QUOTE]
