Dangerous at high speeds

Re: Dangerous at high speeds

I've been in that identical Bayliner properly fitted with it's 50 hp outboard. That boat has no place for an 85 hp on the back, , even if it's not a true 85 hp. And remember, there's an ifinite amount of throttle setting between idle and wide open. I'd suggest EASING it up to speed especially if the boat is new to you and especially that your over powered.

Ayuh,.... The hull no doubt lifted, 'n became Nearly airborne,...
At that point, the prop torque is turnin' the hull in a counter-clockwise direction,....
Nothin' to do with the swim-step...

Havin' formally flown an ole rotten Glastron Jet-flite, rated for 60hp, with an 80hp, 'n then a 135hp Tower of Power,...
I can tell ya, be Careful,....
The slightest ripple can send ya for 1 'ell of a Ride,.....
Been there, done it, worn the results....

This was with the 80hp, punchin' the throttle from a dead stop,....

I added power trim, after addin' the 135hp,... that made it Alot more manageable....

That is a picture perfect for this thread man.... yea I can't wait to do that....and I will. Gonna set the engines trim on the second hole with the pin and shoot for the sky.
