Depends where the engine/v-drive is mounted. Moving them forward can reduce the required shaft angle.

True. Have you seen the cabin space in some of the new boats? A Supreme ZS232, 23 ft boat, has barely more cabin space than my 20.5 ft Mondo. Look how far forward the engine cover is. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aea170ab07.jpg
And that is a huge negative

Then when the prop diameter get that large you run the potential for drive shafts to shear off like the G23s had issues with there for a while.
I think the sweet spot is 1.76
My supra does the same thing. What I have found is that if there's too much weight distributed towards the back, the boat will not go past 11.4 mph, I will then have a couple passengers sit in the bow and it speeds up to 12 as set. I think it has to do with weight, and the boats ability to get on plane. Something with the inclinometer the boat uses and the software that controls the takeoff to get it to plane. It uses the plates in rear all deployed simultaneously to get it on plane, so I wonder if having too much weight towards the back messes it up somehow, the software sets a speed to get the boat out and to level, if it cannot get the boat level despite speed of 11.4 in my case, I wonder if it sets to that speed and waiting for the sensors to show leveling while its not happening because too much stern weight. Anyway, its my theory and I'm sticking to it.
Anyone else experiencing this?
