The Avon looks a bit stern heavy doesnt it? Lots of bow in the air in your shots & the console appear to be set well back. Bet it moves with a 150 opti on the back though!

Alan, anything would have looked stern heavy in the seas we were in that day.
Jahno, the'grin' was the g-force on my face, it was good fun though even when climbing back onboard. At least I know the drysuit doesn't leak! Thanks

It was allways a risk fitting hir out at the stern. But as it turns out she is a very good ride. I have played in 6 - 10ft surf in a f 6/7 gusting 8 off gimblet rock and while she sits a bit bow happy some times she land spot on everytime.

When you had your Opti what did she rev to? and with what pitch prop?

I'm down to a 17pitch and only getting 5300 rpm, i should be getting nearer to 5800, thinking about trying 15 or having my 17 taken down to a 16. She pulls one up, little fuel about, and trimmed up about 48 knots. cruises 4 up at 40 knots.
