Well. I knew they were a bit iffy as a yacht, but now I see them as a mobo I wonder.
Do they ever get on the plane, or is that their cruising angle?

With a big enough engine you can get anything on the plane. This was taken at Red Wharf bay, the guy started to throttle back & I had to wave like mad to get him to open up again for the piccy. Definitely a boat of many compromises, but it does suit some.

It's still nose-in-the-air though. Trim doesn't seem to be their strong suit.

They are o/b driven & don't have trim tabs, so what would you expect?
