What We Solve!
Every identical setup is different — and that means every consultation is tailored to your specific needs. Here’s a sample of the challenges we can tackle:
Common Performance Problems
- Can’t get on plane, or throttle response feels weak
- Struggling with fuel economy or carrying a load
- Propeller blow-out, bow steering, or inconsistent handling
- Boat feels flighty at speed or “on marbles” in rough water
- Watersports setups that don’t deliver (skiing, wakeboarding, tubing)
- Trouble staying on plane below 30 mph
Advanced Setup & Tuning
- Prop diameter, pitch, rake, and cup adjustments
- Drive swaps, gear ratio changes, or setback adjustments
- Jack plates, “X” dimension, and spacer plates (yes, we make them)
- Lab finishing, balancing, and custom modifications
- Matching propellers to new power or hull designs
Thousands of setups later, Brett’s favorite phrase still holds true:
“Every identical setup is different.”
