#1 Post by trent » Mon May 17, 2010 6:55 am

I have a 135 hp optimax,
I took here out this weekend,
just wondering what is the best rpm range to get the most effiency why cruising,

and I have side rollers on my trailer, would bunks work better to keep it lined up ( less pontoon damage )

My whole trailer is rollers I have no bunks at all and no toon damage from the rollers.

And as a plus my toons aren't sitting on wet carpet and I can get to all of mine for polishing or cleaning.

I have the same boat except mine's an inboard, so I can't help you on the RPM range. I assume you have a Trailstar trailer ? I just added PVC guide-ons to mine and it lines up every time.

the guide ons sound like a good idea, did you buy them or make them.

Bought them from Eastern Marine in Delaware (local to me, but you can buy online). Since the Party Cruiser is so tall, and our ramp at the marina is very deep, I had to add extensions to them so they would be out of the water. Just a couple of PVC pipes, glue and connectors.
