dump the Fury for Tempest to start.
got a 99 TX21 older style (undrivable) hull.LOL !!!
i came out of a Ranger then a Cobra to the Triton.
hell of a difference.
got to learn to drive it, but the prop and a 10 inch hydraulic plate and tons of gear fixed mine!!! LOL !!!!
225 Opti with 26 Tempest plus and the motor way up,tournament loaded @ 71.mph and can drive with one hand.
I love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning !!!

You are literally balancing the boat on a small portion of the bottom. This is what they look like when an experienced boat driver knows how to get the max out of his rig. I was fixing to post that picture. It is a great illustration on what makes the boat 'wobble' when it gets up on pad. You have to balance it on that skinny section, all the while the prop is trying to make you fall off to the right. It like walking on a tight rope and leaning left/right/left/right just to stay on.
