Looking for some help. I have a new 2020 Caracal, came from a 2015 Caracal. This new boat drives completely different than the old one and I cannot get it above 67mph without it starting to chine walk bad, never had any chine walk on the old boat.
Setups:
2015 Setup: 225 SHO, Detwiler Hydro JP, Powerpoles, 36V setup, 26 Gallon tank aft and 33 underseat, Bravo 4 blade 25p
2020 Setup: 225 SHO, Bobs Hydro JP, Powerpoles, 24V setup, 10 Gallon tank aft and 33 underseat, Yamaha T2, 3 blade 24p
I assume that the weight difference of having the smaller tank in the rear and one less battery has something to do with it, but I cannot figure out where the jackplate should be to get more speed without chine walk. In most cases it starts to walk bad around 65. Dealer tells me I should get 70-72, and I know from my old boat that I can, but this new set up has me stumped… The old boat didn’t have a JP gauge so it’s tough to try and replicate my old setup. I feel like it should be better with the 3 blade on the new boat. Thanks for any insight.
