30" in that pic, never ran it there, but ran it at 28" for a long time ... I was trying to get the tail up/nose down ... it was a wild ride ...
I ended up getting another safer boat to run that motor in ... v-bottom jets at anyting over 110 are scary IMO ...
I spoke to Jack McClure at MPD and he suggested I move the motor to 26" from the transom. So apparently it's not far off from where you were at. I know you only go straight ,but what do you think about that dimension in a circle race setup?thanks.
