Vector Comp HI Randy,
Crawdad369: Most
comp. Vectors did not have a flat floor and had what they call a stringer
bottom. Because of this, the structure of the bottom was much stronger.
Unfortunately, without a flat floor, using one for regular boating is not
the easiest on the feet. Your motor and choice of prop sound good, but if
the boat is a true comp and is very light, a little less setback would
probably make the boat easier to drive and faster on the big end. You
might want to turn the rear plates around on your jackplate (on non CMC
models), which would reduce your setback to about 2 1/2 inches. If this is
not possible, try to run the battery or the fuel tank right behind the
front seats. While not the most attractive, you will not believe the
difference in handling because of the balancing effect that this has.
Don't be afraid to experiment with weight placement and I am sure you will
find a setup that you will like better than having all the weight in the
rear.
Please submit whatever questions you have to IHRTechTalk@yahoo.com. All questions and answers selected will be displayed on this page as they come in. Note: though all boaters are welcome, priority may be given to I.H.R. members. Randy can not be held responsible for any advice given. Though his information and expertise is second to none, he has no control over what you do with your boat. It is up to you to boat safely and act responsibly, and his advice is only to be used as a guidance for your high performance boat/motor of which you are the one responsible for the risks involved. Thanks,
