Re: Need Faster Hole Shot
I posted this on another thread but the topic and my opinion are the same:<br /><br />" These conversations always make me confused. When we are talking about "hole Shot" and conceding, and accepting, that "holes" are OK. They are just a fact of nature in boat performance, and should be accepted as that. Therefore we need a two speed transmission at the least. One low gear (prop) to climb out of the "hole" and the second higher gear (prop) to attain the top speed and economy. Sound a bit nuts? "<br /><br />"DHadley suggested that you look at the entire set up first (I agree), and that included the WOT RPMs and Speed. ..... If the engine is too low the "Hole" would be deeper, and if the prop was not correct, then the performance would suffer. However, let's not accept the hole as unavoidable!"<br /><br />"What Lubedude did not tell you here is that he went up in pitch after ELIMINATING the "Hole". The acceleration to plane time was about half, even with the higher pitch prop (23 up to 25)." <br /><br />"Look at the entire set up - even the boat attitude. Why choose a gear (prop) to climb the hill when you can run on a level road? Not to mention smoothing the road out in the process. Sometimes solutions are so simple we do not want to accept them. Gas is not getting cheaper so why not look at a more efficient set up." Take a look at trim tabs. <br /><br />We make Smart Tabs and our position is simple get the best set up you can and then we have a money back guaranty that says Smart Tabs or Mobster Tabs will cut the time to plane significantly (30% to 50%), Reduce the bow rise on take off by at least 50%, improve acceleration by at least 10%, eliminate porpoising, improve ride, and handling and add 2 to 40 MPH at the top end. This guaranty is posted on this site. We have never needed to send out the first check.
