I have always been from the school of "plane as quickly as possible". But now I am wondering with all the weight of my 260DA whether slamming the throttles wide open to come on plane is really adviseable or whether this is too hard on the engine and outdrive. What do you think?
I would like to hear some opinions on this and your reasons for how you choose to come on plane. Answers will probably vary widely depending on boat size, bow rise issues, etc. but hey.........that's the way we all learn and gain a better understanding on this matter.
I was also thinking about that 38DA that rammed the 18 foot Bayliner and wonder if that guy was comming on plane too slowly. :smt017
