Hey,
just bought a 04 Vegas with a Merc 150 XR6 w/ 20" mid, any of you guys have a reccomendation for motor height and prop. mine was used primarily for skiing and I passed that point in life. My boats starts chine walking at about 66, is this normal or is my set up incorrect?
Wondering how to post images or maybe change your avatar or maybe something else?

Re: 04 Vegas XT Set up
Hey there, welcome.
That's an interesting question, Solid mounts, tight steering, some set back, and a chopper prop will help handling but won't necessarily eliminate chine walk. You have a newer XT. It is maybe heavier and your a little underpowered, so you may not see much improvement in speed with your current horsepower.
As far as the your wind screen, (from a previous post) I checked into that a few years ago and could not find a shop that offered that kind of service. However , I found plenty of how to videos on cutting, bending and drilling plexiglass.
Again, welcome.
