naaa, keep it... just try it first and see if you can turn easier... mine vibrated bad then i started trying new things to see what would cure it (I.E. taking the corner faster, slower, trimming down etc..) then i trimmed up a pretty good bit and it was smooth sailing around a tight corner.. it don't vibrate anymore.. im not sure if u got trim tabs on your boat.... might need to adjust them in the turn ?? Im not sure because i aint got them !!!!

yeah, I got trim tabs, I only use them when its rough or Im trying to jump up fast in shallow water. I usually cavitate a little going into tight bends,but thats always been since I had the boat. Marcus over at powertech told me I had too much pitch on my prop,so Im going down a size. He told me this will take care of my cavitation. Now that you mention about the trim,I think I was a little more in the water than normal when it was vibrating.

try different things... maybe trim up left or right on the tabs to help u bank more ??? Can be the tabs "fluttering" in the water ???? Can be a whole lot of different things... im no boat mechanic by no means... but i do investigate my own problems and use common sense to try to fix them..

I think it might have been more with the trim. Never felt that before. should have my new prop by next weekend for our tournament. Hope our t-shirts come in by then too.
