Notice they used a Triton as the example! Good info there, G.
That's a good article, thanks for posting.
I was always told to drive though it.
I thought that was a Bee Gee's tune.
Have driven one that I didnt have the balls to drive through. My first boat was an old Venture and if you learned to walk it through the chime it was one fast hull. A good friend that has now passed away helped me learn to alot out of a hull, wish he was still around, was fun riding with him. It is amazing what you can do with a hygralic jackplate and the tilt and trim.
Had never heard of it til now. I dont have to worrow bout it though lol
Those left and right twitches of the wheel can darn sure get you puckered up.... Balanced my weight out much better 3 yrs ago and it was a huge difference maker... Boat will 70 on the 998 with no hands on the wheel.. Fast enough for me
With enough horse power and speed, setup incorrectly, all performance hull bass boats will eventually do it at some point in the trim cycle. Definitely not manufacturer specific. They'll all do it if they're fast enough.
One key that I noticed in the older hulls was the pad, the deeper the pad the harder to get up on it. But once you were there it was on. I use the trim button alot, done rite it helps with fuel consumption. Like to run fast but nothing wrong with sitting on about 4 grand and just cruising.
