I'll have to check the angle, this is my first boat so I'm still trying to figure out what everything is😂

Two 8 gallon spun aluminum tanks, mounted as far back as they can be on both sides of the motor.

2 12lb AGM batteries mounted along the back wall on the passenger side.

The boat rides amazing, I can get it to porpoise if the diverter is in the wrong spot but generally it rides super nice, unfortunately I don't have any pic that is clear enough but the boat is almost back on the ride plate, you can really feel it when it's up to speed.

Not sure how the loader is trimmed or what that means??

I do know a small person that could drive but that would be like renting out my girlfriend only much worse.

77 was done with a full boat, 3 200+lb dudes and a 120lb chick, also two tool bags, anchor, ore, it's got a big sound system up front. I did a run by myself but my GPS had gone into the settings screen and didn't log anything, I was already super low on fuel and couldn't take the embarrassment of having a friend tow me back! I'm sure I'm really close to 80 by myself. Guess I'll start dieting to cut down on weight hahah!

Thanks for all the help guys!

2.7 mph is like the last piece of pizza.  You know you want it, but you're afraid you'll shit  your pants or puke. Lmao.

Some simple questions.

What angle is the ride plate at in comparison to the keel?

Where are your fuel tanks mounted?

Where and how many batteries?

How does the boat ride? Where does the water break?

How is the loader trimmed?

Can you get it to porpoise?

Know any small people that can drive?

It's all about weight once the wallet goes flat. Lol

Weight distribution/reduction is gigantic.

I say two more degrees of timing,  two gallons of good fuel no rear seat,  a 100 pound driver and a 1-1/2" riffle and you'll have it. Lol

Good luck, sounds awesome.

Dude! That is a lot of flesh and stuff in your boat. Dump them in the middle of the lake, or on shore, low fuel in tanks and give it a go. I bet 80 happens pretty easy if you get 77 with all that.
