What headers are you changing too? I was going to Jet Coat those either gray or flat black.

Don't want to do this but looking like career change may be happening. If so will have to move some toys.

Ok thanks for info. Im going to put rideplate down a hair more. I think your right I was just getting bad info on how rooster should be, since every boat is different.
And heres a pic for Fordlover inside my home shop.

I don't take it in a bad way at all. I was told I should have a small maybe 1ft to 2ft rooster at cruise. I put diverter all way down on takeoff then tap up twice as I'm going. At a cruise I will tap diverter up acouple more times and feel boat get that light feeling but seems to start porpoising. The boat is new to me so I am learning came from 25 ft Deck boat with outdrive. I took a couple pics tonite of setup.

« on: May 16, 2016, 12:59:42 PM »About where were you running the trim? All the way down? How low does the nozzle go (in approximate degrees)?I was running trim all the way down. Tried slowly bumping it up. The more I adjusted plate down the better cruising ride got. I will have to check degrees down.
Is there a chance someone has the ram set up wrong?

Well went to river this weekend. It was way worse with ride plate set 2 degrees up. So lowered it down acouple times and probably back to where it was originally set. Guess this boat just likes the 4 degrees down.
