jack plate????
what way do you adjust it to make the ride more stable? i have a new stratos 200 xl w/ 250 merc and when i try to ggo wide open the boat starts to do the death wobble. i just want to make the ride stable at high speeds around 68 to 70 mph .

thats the chin walk steve nothing you can do to the moter will stop it. ya have to learn to control it..turning the wheel to make a 10 mile left turn is the only way i can describ it..
and watch this http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...iondelete2.flv it is done with a toon but still... 250 on most 200xl will hit 80+mph. at that speed before warned about the "gravel road" as your next handlin poblem.. zooker

2 Questions Regarding My Bass Tracker
Hi,
What do you guys recommend for a carpet cleaner. Also my boat is aluminum so I was wondering what I could use on the Aluminum to make it shine. Thanks. Carl |

both ally and laser are right best thing to focus on this summer is learning to driving it. if you know some one close to your location that can drive a fast boat let them drive and watch how they do it..
i am not saying that i can jump in laser's pocket rocket and drive it nearly as fast as he can. i am saying that i know how to drive a boat at that speed. even i get a lil squemish when bustin azz around the 100 mph mark.-and i have been doing this for years- zooker
