Gentleman who took these was up from US visiting Muskoka for a week, discovered TORC race Saturday, showed up & asked if he could sit in turn boat to take pics, 400 in link.
Thrilled with the day, said he will return in 2017.

Those pictures turned out really well.

The pictures especially of the T750's show a great deal about engine set up. Notice most of the boats are using very little positive trim most motors are straight up. Jesse is running under trim and the nose is still wanting to lift. Lighter driver may need more weight forward. Tom's 4 stroke did not require additional set back due to the motor's 250 lb weight. There is always discussion in T class about leaving the hook in the bottom of the boat in or removing it. With some boats the hook keeps the nose down. After lap 2 in a race it is boat balance that makes a difference, the boat will launch hook or no hook. If your running 4 th or further back you are just hanging on!

Just found these, great shots of all! Was just debating motor trim vs. prop config with Mark at Tuff Boats, just complained that I didn't have any good shots of boat position with specific prop/speed!
