Trim is a preference thing and a specific setup thing that only benefits those that can manage it. I never had trim on my Allison and I think it would have slowed me down. That boat was easy to set in the turns, so I never felt like I wanted something else to think about. As a T850 boat, I would just cut the throttle at the turn, set and then gas all the way though and out of the turn. Believe me, that 3 cyl commanded some serious respect!!! With the T750 motor, I just had to turn the wheel a bit left before the turn to set the bow and keep my foot planted!! I agree that it can be an advantage for an experienced driver, but also a detriment for a new guy. There are so many different boats and setups out there, so each one has a specific driving style and will behave differently. All of the different boats is what makes these classes so interesting!!

Funny, it's in Palmerston...
