Prater, what do you have for a motor and what prop are you using? Mine seems to get on plane much quicker. I have the 5.7 Alpha drive and I'm running a 4 blade 14x18.
 
Sounds good Steven, would I be correct in saying you didn't drop the hammer? It sounds like a 5.7 pulling about 3600 to get her on the plane?
 
Still breaking in the new outdrive. I have 8 hours on it so I am easing into it. If I push the sticks it would be much faster. I am suprised I still have good power from my 5.7 with almost 900 hours. The boat was loaded pretty good also.

I am running a 19 pitch 4 blade stainless prop with a Gen II outdrive from SEI.
 
Got the link fixed, and I am turning right through the video to keep my distance from the jet skiis and going around the shallows on my right to get to the next island beach.
