Cruising at 32 knots, then at full throttle at around 43 knots to check the engines.

@@AlfamarineShipyard I had a Searay 29 Cruiser back in Dubai but 3 years ago while in Florida I had the chance to command a Searay L650 Fly for a little while on the ICW.... what an experience!!

actually for similar reasons you have trim on a plane. it allows you to pop the nose up higher out of the water for a smoother ride, and then as you get slower you lower the nose for better handling.

​@@subsoar5734 I don't think you know what you're talking about. Moreover, I think you're an infogypsy. If you need nose up on a ship, you use balast tanks. And position of the nose doesn't give you "a smoother ride". Similarly nose sitting lower in the water doesn't give you "better handling". I wonder why, do you think, we "have trim on a plane"?

@@Maloy7800 what a wild comment. Has it ever occurred to you that one outcome can be accomplished in multiple different ways? You use trim tabs on a bigass V-hull like a cruiser to keep the nose from flying up out of the water when you punch the throttle, or to keep it from plowing when you punch the throttle. You can’t get a v-hull on plane organically, it needs extra help through trimming your outdrives and trim tabs, or what they call flaps in the video. As a pilot we have trim on planes to maintain a set attitude or pitch angle without having to constantly manipulate the elevators. See that? A set pitch angle. Amazing. Info gypsy? Really?

@@subsoar5734 I have to admit defeat. I don't really know why I posted that and why so harsh. Maybe in the heat of the moment it sounded unfamiliar and caused an ignorant reaction. What you said (and what I just read on the interweb) seems to have much more sense now. My apologies. And thank you for the explanation.

@@Maloy7800 That’s a rare one! Someone on the internet admitting they were wrong. I can appreciate that, and no worries, mate. It happens.
