Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone is up to meet/fish with me at either Clearlake, Berryessa, or the Delta that knows how to drive this beast! I have a new to me (November) 2010 XB-21 BasSport 2+2 with a 250 Pro XS and TPX or TXP (Turbo) prop and Sportmaster 1.62 gears. I came from a tank (Skeeter ZX 190 with a 175 Black Max) where I would top out at 57mph loaded and stable as can be. Fast forward to this boat and anything over 60-65 and I start washing the decals and puckering up!
There is a level on the console so I do pay attention to load distribution, but is seems like no matter what I do I can't figure it out. It got to the point where I had to set it 1/2" below pad as a starting point (from the guys on BBC) so I can get a consistent hole shot. So I tried moving the JP up to see if that worked when running because they say that prop wants to be on top of the water and just can't figure it out. I know you're supposed to do short movements of the wheel and no dice either.
I have 2 small children and do at least one tournament a month so I don't get too much time on the water so I need to figure out at the tournament, which isn't ideal because I'm trying to focus on 5 by 3:00 lol.
If someone live nearby I would absolutely love some help on the water if possible.
Thanks,
Mike
