[QUOTE="okavango, post: 391537, member: 14682"] Over the moon with today's testing. With the exception of reverse, only minor adjustments where needed to set up trim. PSG you where spot on, what an engine. 44 MPH GPS one up, 42 MPH 2 adults 2 teenagers. Cruises at 36 MPH 7500RPM 3100ft ASL. Some cavitation if you dump the throttle one up, but this will improve as I complete the build and add weight. Four up you can launch and get on the plane in a boat length. This was the best fun I have had on the water in a long time, could not believe how responsive this 20ft boat is. Will try all up weight runs tomorrow, reverse tends to pump into the jet cavity and is almost non existent so some thought and work needed there. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Might have to change the nozzle and reverse gate to the jet boat set up, but would hate to loose trim as you can feel when adjusting the trim how the hull releases and speed picks up. All in all a very satisfying day, posted some video of a fantastic day on the water, mid winter in Botswana! [/QUOTE]
