Any ideas why my boat-

[Taz]

seems to roll from side to side at speed hit 60 65mph and boat seem to how can i put it the nose rolls from side to side and then the back follows it feels really unstable you cant trim it out and the harder you accelerate the worse it gets

Ive noticed if i take people in the back it gets really bad
The steering is all tight only play in the ram
gearbox etc is all tight no play
i have one fuel tank in the rear well near transom
two trim pumps one side and battery the other

Trim tabs appear to help slightly down from the stop

My only fought is the transom it has been reinforced tie rods from transom to a steel long plate under the rear seat. Could the transom be twisted? if it was anyone know if this could affect

Oh and im running a big eared chopper

And THEN the back follows it!!!!

I would hope that the back rolls from side to side at the exact same time as the nose

Try a different prop. Choppers arent the most easy to drive forgiving props in the world.

What was it like when you had the laser 2 on it?

Neil Holmes driving school ?

The Laser 2 was just the same, Ive only bought this up as silversufer had ago of my boat and said hes boat has never done it we have both got p20 s

The fasest ive bin is mid 70s with tabs slighly trimmed down and it was pretty unstable

[Matt]

OK, and how fast is silversurfers boat?
How much setback does silversurfers boat have?

[Taz]

No setback i think hes will do mid 60s

well taz slow down to mid 60s then

[JamesM]

So his may start to chine walk if he went a bit faster.

Burty's has 8 inches of set back and ran high 70's low 80's with no chine walking.

Mine runs about 70 with 5.5 inches of setback and also doesn't chine walk. It used to chine walk well bad at anything over about 65 with my old prop. That was a laser 2 as is the new one. Try a few different props.

I have bin makes u think though if the boat is twisted or sumthink is not right burty does 80s in his p20 and doesnt have any problems

go out and buy a ring

my boat chine walks bad at anything over 75 and ive tried loads of different props, ive learnt to drive through it by balencing the boat by gently turning the steering wheel from side to side.
