[QUOTE="Jigaman, post: 158522, member: 641"] I have a 1999 lund 1850 tyee w/ 135 optimax. Although I wish it had a bit more power it does alright for our family. Once I get it up on plane I can trim it quite a bit and IMO it handles well. My inlaws have a 2014 lund crossover 1875 w/ a mercury 150 4 stroke. boat has plenty of power but I am wondering if the motor is too high. I can barely trim it up before it blows out but what is really noticeable is when I am pulling the kids on the tube you cant turn nearly as sharp as I can with my boat before the prop starts to blow out. I always pull the tube with the motor trimmed down all the way. If I lowered the motor one hole on the crossover would that improve things? Man I am ready for summer. [/QUOTE]
