    Air packing in the tunnel will cause your boat to lift and ride on top of the water verses cutting through it. It sounds like you have never been in a tunnel over 100mph. Be careful.

    My buddies pickelfork would top out at about a hundred and ten and it was pretty much running dry,freaky feeling when you feel it start lifting,I pretty much had enough of it after one good run!!

    try to drop your ride plate use a flat washer to set it
    my 19 ft youngblood packs alot of air in the tunnel kinda makes your azz tight if your not used to it
