I guess it was running a bit rich and so wasn't that quick with the nearly 1" jets fitted

Oh yeah and when you see silversufers boat in the water it just seems to glide throught the water looks proper stable, i think its mainly due to our boats being setup more to leisure then racing. I have loads of crap in my boat toolbox anchor starter pack drinks food coat lifejackets and much more not including the false floor extra seat etc it cant help the old girl at speed

All the weight makes a difference! Mine hasnt even got the side flooring from the stringer to the side it literally only has two stringers that run the length of the boat and a floor that the bow tank sits on and one that the fuel tank sits on thats it! Wot jon says about a light boat being better is totally rite! My boat completely behaves itself even in the rough! I think alot of it is the set up of wot engine/prop and things that you running!
