Interesting problem...

He called this afternoon and asked me to take a ride with him because he couldn't get his boat to plane right. We met up at Webster Lake and took it for a ride after checking everything over - everything seemed to be working, nothing out of sorts with the hull. Got on the water and it's the oddest thing - no matter what trim position, the boat would porpise (pitch) at speed. Vary the speed and you'd get a yawing action - trim made no difference. No roll to speak of. All the bolts are tight, properly torgued, the prop is symmetrical, the skeg on the outboard is straight, keel is straight - no obvious repairs. Any ideas? I'll admit it - I'm stumped. The engine is mounted in the wrong set of holes, maybe. It's also a lot of engine weight for a 20' boat. Have you ever *seen* any bass boats, WAFA? I've been on a 20' Ranger with a 250 Verado. How's that for heavy? BWAAAHAAAA!!!! Damn Harry's stupid! |
