A friend on mine just bought a used Stratos 20' bass boat with a 250
Yamaha Vmax. He called this afternoon and asked me to take a ride
with him because he couldn't get his boat to plane right.
We met up at Webster Lake and took it for a ride after checking
everything over - everything seemed to be working, nothing out of
sorts with the hull.
Got on the water and it's the oddest thing - no matter what trim
position, the boat would porpise (pitch) at speed. Vary the speed and
you'd get a yawing action - trim made no difference. No roll to speak
of.
All the bolts are tight, properly torgued, the prop is symmetrical,
the skeg on the outboard is straight, keel is straight - no obvious
repairs.
Any ideas? I'll admit it - I'm stumped.
The engine is mounted in the wrong set of holes, maybe. It's also a
lot of engine weight for a 20' boat.
Have you ever *seen* any bass boats, WAFA? I've been on a 20' Ranger
with a 250 Verado. How's that for heavy?
BWAAAHAAAA!!!! Damn Harry's stupid!
