Fiat48:
I also have a Tr1. I also set the plates following the contour of the bottom on the side plates. I set all plates 1/4" up measuring 3 ft under the boat with an accurate straight edge. That's the starting point with 3/8" up the max, depending on the rocker in the bottom. I don't like up pedals, so I remove the up pedal completely and change the springs so that they are always pulling up. When the rod is against the stop, the plates are 1/4" up. I'll post some pictures soon as I figure out how to do that. Cole Man,
Do what Fiat said, that is what my dad told me to do with a tr1, actually its a good rule of thumb for any runnerbottom

BGMAN,
Thanks for the advise, I am right in there. I think the problem I am fighting is not plate set up but the lack of burn on the prop.
ColeTR-1,
I have family in Reno & Sparks. We should hook up sometime, would love to see your TR-1. Do you make down to Camp Far West very often? If so we shoud hook up and race.
Cole Man.
