Need a little advice here. I finally got to test my TS2 this weekend. Got it started and the first thing I did was walk to the waters edge and as gracefully as I could I tossed it in upside down, the prop never got wet. I just stood there….Then it started snowing….Once we retrieved it to my surprise the radio box was dry no damage here.
Ok, the problem I noticed was the boat, when upright, list to the right not much but it does have a list. I used two d cell batteries and checked the balance left to right. The boat would balance if you turned the engine a little to the left. However, when on center the boat listed to the right. The engine is centered on the transom and the boat is balanced at about the 93/4” mark. I used steel fishing weights mixed with epoxy poured into the nose of the cowling. I never really ran the boat other than just past planning speeds as I’m still trying to break it in: however, it ran very well and when on plan it ran straight and true. I have a bit of negative trim and the prop shaft sits just above center line on the set up board. All in all everyone was quite impressed with it by the days end. My question is will this boat list a little in the direction of the tuned pipe or is something off? Thanks Chad.
