Well I think we have clearly established its just how this boat runs as delivered.

A better trim gauge would have helped me better understand whats going on, and I plan to share that with Formula.

I also cant help but wonder if a different prop set would have any impact.

As BroadHopper said a few posts back, in a regular single prop Bravo drive switching from a 3 blade to a 4 blade prop is well worth the cost. Wondering if its the same with a 2 prop Bravo III drive. Its a big expense to change 2 props but if the end result is a noticeable change I might be willing to pop for it.
