That's plenty fast in a 16 footer, but certain there is more.  Was hoping to get a report as to how it handles.    To Doug and other OB experts, when using the hydraulic plate, do you find the best setting, then make up a fixed plate to save weight?  Or is it something you always have to adjust?
Handles good. Feels real solid. With the motor low it want's to chine walk with too much trim. Now with the bow tank full it want's to porpoise at elevated motor height. We'll figure it out.

Looks like it runs well in the video.  I actually expected it too have a biigest roost, but he did say it likes height over trim.  A bit depressing to see boats running in December and mine have been winterized for 2 months.

Anything above top of the motor is wasted thrust.

Ran like a charm yesterday. Did discover a lil leak. Seems to be coming in around the splash well drain. Have to crawl in there and goop it up.

Beautiful boat, I can't stop looking at it.
And I bet it's even more fun on the water.

Can't wait to get it on to my aluminum trailer. It'll sit a lot lower.
