But the bow won't rise until one gets to within about a knot of hull speed. The gentleman that thought hull speed was at that point certainly wasn't referring to a speed or throttle setting "just above idle".
PS ... When I say "bow rise" I'm referring to the fore and aft angle of the whole boat ... Not just the bow. Clearly the bow rises and the stern drops.
I'm still hoping someone will make a run and observe the speed.
And Marin I was talkIng about the horizontal stab ... Not the elevator.
