I have a 92 xb 02/260. 200 cut sporty.1.87 gears.7/16 above the pad.With a 30 hoss triton my best is 108.4 empty.Same hight with my 27 trophy loaded to fish it will run 98 to 100

1/4 above. U Should see a least a 5mph increace. At 12 in. of setback 1/4 above should feel good. But every boat is a little different.

I heard he's looking at a bullet

do you have trim relays for a two wire system?

yep it's a 2.4.

that's what i call wanting to fish bad.

slip numbers change with load, prop type and diameter. best i have seen is about 6% with a moderate load and a big eared chopper. yammi drags are the worst for slip about 10-15%. et's are about 8-10%

91 is plenty octane for a stock head promax. i know of someone who ran 89 for 20 hrs on his promax because he didn't know better and the motor is fine. mercury's broshure back in 2005 when they still made the 280 showed a minimum of 91 octane and that motor came with 150lbs of compression at...

get ready for about 3-4 more mph.

mathews boat is the quickest no doubt but he is also the lightest by a margin. my point was the 3 litre on the back of an ally drag. most don't even consider it on our 2002's or 2003's much less a drag.

you guys need to get on byuboyz.com and look at the thread "morgan city pictures". someone posted some vids of a blue ally with a 12" modified 300promax running 1/8 mile drags. the motor was built by galen burden and is bad arse to say the least.

currently at 1" above with a modded lip. going to a 9in to achieve neutral trim and gain some top end.

i'm not asking for a starting point, i want to know the difference when changing setbacks.

on an xb2002, going from 11" to 9" of setback, how much do i have to lower my motor. figured someone had a scale or rule of thumb. ex. for every 1inch back to come up 1/8 and so forth.

what hull?
