smilemaker Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 As strange as it seems as you lighten the entire hull without changing the rest of the boat you are moving the center of gravity to the rear. This will cause the back to squat and the bow to rise. It all deals with displacement. You can see the effects of weight distribution easily on small skiffs as you walk from the stern to the bow. We are finally seeing some answers to my questions earlier in this post. Not a bad thing just the result of displacement and center of gravity.

I would think so here is an old post with a 300 and a t-top 65MPH. (Those are some great numbers on your setup. I ran a Yamaha SWS 15x22 with the jack plate all the way up, trimmed to 80% and achieved 65 mph at 5600 rpm's going with the wind. Here is a short video.) https://youtu.be/ZnxWCEYtvJ8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Seither Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Skip, Any news on the #'s yet? Fuel at optimal RPM, draft, 1000+ lb loss is a bunch, any plans on testing with a 250?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPizzle Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Is there a way I can buy a pair of those carbon fiber raised Pathfinder decals? I want to replace the ones on my boat and those would look great. I would like a 2200 also if they could make one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redzone1 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Skip, Did you guys go through the proper steps of breaking this f300 in before seeing what she would do for your top end speed testing? I’m just curious if the warranty has been compromised if the break in procedure wasn’t followed in full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never installed the hardtop but have it at the plant if the buyer needs one. Skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is your 26 running with the Nizpro? We've been so busy I can't even get an oil change. I just ordered new Simrad units so when they come in I'm scheduling a "me" day. The plan is next week or the following. We are going to do some video in the next couple of days how it runs now so it will be an apples to apples comparison.
