Re: What's with the rooster tails?
CB,
The trim didn't seem too high. The hull wasn't porpoising or squirrely like it is when you're trimmed up too much.
RAP,
Yeah, it's more like that. Rooster tail is more like a fan or fountain shape arching up and behind the boat. Next time I'll have someone take the wheel and I'll peek over the transom. With a mod or deep V right to the keel, the hull sort of diverts the water to either side of the lower unit. I'm thinking with the flat section of keel (I thought it was a "pad", but I think it's called something different...can't remember it though) right in front of the lower unit, it's just water running "square" into the lower unit.
I'm not finding the spray is going into the boat, so I guess I won't complain too much. It's just odd while running in flat seas to see all that spray coming up.
