 Possiable stupid question but im still curious I have a 35 GTR with a 3 blade prop and 32 inch outdrive. When i get in the mud and trim down it will push for a few feet and pop up everytime, and i see all yalls videos and pictures and yall arent seeming to have this problem. Could this just be the type of bottom we have where im running? Is there somthing wrong with my set up? Or am i just doing somthing wrong?

Re: Possiable stupid question but im still curious I was hoping that the bottom was a majority of my problem. I just ordered a 2 blade from Gator tail hopefully it will help me out some.

Re: Possiable stupid question but im still curious sounds like you are hitting some hard bottom and making it bounce up

Re: Possiable stupid question but im still curious agreed^ i just thought trimming all the way down with that longer outdrive would make more progress than it did. apparently i was wrong!

Re: Possiable stupid question but im still curious I have the 32" outdrive to and ive noticed in a bottom like your talking about if you dont trim down so much its not as bad. When you trim down a bunch its like you dig a hole and gotta come out and lose your momentum trying to get going agian forward.

Re: Possiable stupid question but im still curious swapping to an 27" lower may help ya in the hard bottom because of the steeper drive angle would provide more stern lift at takeoff.

Re: Possiable stupid question but im still curious It was a weekday, didn't think many people were gonna be down to ride. I went to catfish and when I saw the launch at I10 I knew miller would be perfect. I'll remember next time!
