305 | Art Marshall | trying to reduce my planing speed | 2/11/2005 23:44:00 | |
I am trying to decrease the speed at which my boat will plane or stay on plane. I am sure most of you can attest to the fact that Parker 25s are not the softest riding boats. I can bury the engines and tab down to smooth things out but the speed is often too fast. I can not plane until about 2900-3000 rpm. Then the boat wants to accelerate. I think planing speed is about 20 mph. Are all you dv 25 owners "in the same boat". I'm thinking that the twins on the bracket sag the stern, raise the bow. If I could create more/better stern lift via four blades, bigger tabs, or foils ( Permatrim ), I may be able to smooth things out? Any ideas or success stories. |
