Reply With QuoteIts got a standard Berkeley intake that has been cut for a shoe/ride plate and i'll have to check on my nozzle insert, i have four sizes and don't remember what was in it. Also i will get a few pics tonight.
Some pictures of the boat might help ... in particular, slight oblique from the back, last 3 or so feet of the keel from side looking up and a front shot.
Also what intake is in the boat and what nozzle insert size are you using?

Heres a short vid of the boat, i know its not very good but its something.

If that thing was any lower in the water we'd call it a submarine! Waddya got up under the bow, a FAT chick?

Rio, you could get alot more with a teaspoon of sugar than you could with a pound of salt.
thought you should know.
She rides a little wet BUT How loose will she get if you air her out?
Might get scarry!!!
I'll trade a little scary for some topend...
Take some pictures of the bottom like Jak said.
Specifically what does the keel look like right ahead of the pump intake ?
A drop keel really helps to get the hull out of the water and loads the pump better too.
My old scorpion (in my avitar) had a bubble in front of the intake, about 1/2 or so deep and 12" long and that boat aired out great and from top speed it would coast down perfectly. This Earl is flat in front of the intake.http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...h_100_1050.jpg (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...t=100_1050.flv)
Heres another vid, pay no attention to me hammering it out of the hole, i was getting mad about this time.
