Gathered all my prawn gear and got the boat ready for a ling and prawn feast
Whatcha got there for the boat and power? Looks pretty sweetI installed Permatrim hydrofoils today today. I don't have tabs so am hoping that these keep my stern up a bit better when loaded so I can slow my planing speed down. I am hoping for a bit better fuel burn as well. I don't care about top end. I did up performance runs with a spreadsheet prior to install and I will do it again when I get her back in the water. It's going to be interesting to see what the numbers show.View attachment 116786View attachment 116787
I will do an update once I get her back in the water.Will be very interesting to hear more about how the performance post installation was compared to your data. Fingers crossed for a good improvement for you.
Yeah… you think?!It's a 24' Specmar 1147 with twin 150 Sea Pros. It's sweet... I like it!View attachment 116790
That's a big transducer! I really want to upgrade my P66 for deep drop fishing but the things are just so dang expensive!What's that big transducer hiding under there @kaelc ? Is it an Airmar TM185? If so, what height do you have it set at relative to the bottom edge of the hull?

Where did you find that out? It seems inconsistent in Suzuki's marketing if the vvt is in the Mechanical but it looks like it's definetly in the 150 fly by wire. Global shows Mechanical 150a having it, but Suzuki.ca only mentions it for the the 150ap fly by wire? https://www.globalsuzuki.com/marine...the engine to,enjoy the power and performance.VVT on the 175/200, not on the 150. Once you’re on step you’d not likely know the difference, but the vvt shows up when you’re climbing mountains offshore.
It is an Airmar that came with the boat, but I don't have it dialled in, the tag was missing, so I guessed which 1kw one it is in my Lowrance settings. You reminded me that an SFBC member is certified in Airmar. I need to get him to take a look. I can snap you a picture of how it is set up.What's that big transducer hiding under there @kaelc ?

They come up used fairly often, and right now every eBay seller seems to be taking offers. I have a Garmin adapter cable for one if you need it!That's a big transducer! I really want to upgrade my P66 for deep drop fishing but the things are just so dang expensive!
