I saw this boat @ the Bartlett lake gathering, porpoising like crazy, driver was trying to drive through it, actually gave me a little scare with the way that Aqua Craft was reacting, absolutely gorgeous boat has healthy sounding Ford, done a really nice job restoring it but the boat is out of whack. I met you there but forgot your name. Is'nt Bill helping you get that sorted out Bill called me about some props, I have a few left hand pitch if you would like to try em. Matt
There is a guy in spokane washington that has a aquacraft that has controlled the beast. You might try to PM him , goes by the handle of Circle Jerk. When he sees your post he will be all over it. Jimmy D

at 3500 the gets worse i tried to drive throught it but just doesnt happen if i punch it, it just starts hoping right away, im david buy the way but you were close ha and yeah bill and i beating our heads aginst the walls trying to figure this thing out does anyone have a similar boat they can send me there messurements of there set up thanks
My Dad has the 18 footer. Docile as hell at 70-75 mph. He has a warmed over big block. It does have a 9 degree shaft angle and a nice Kindsvater three blade prop. I can get measurements if your really lost. But you might find a strut location change and several other things that cost money and lots of time. I think shaft angle is very important as to what you are experiencing. Also engine location. Let me know if I can help.
yeah ive been hearing that alot about the angle is 8 to much because thats where mines at im just trying to get other boats messurement just to see how others are set up just trying to get all the info i can
If your shaft angle is 8 that is better than 9. The shallower the angle the more push forward instaed of up. I was hoping it wasn't a ski type setup at say 10 to 12. There are people that are a lot smarter than me on here. How far is the rear motor plate from the transom. Inside measurement. Have you set the plate with the handle in the middle adjustment and then level with the bottom? Very important step. How much motor?? HP
ive done every plate adj. that you can do and the plate to trans is 28.5 inch and the motor makes 550hp
