I was having the same problems as many mentioned and frustrated. Uneven ramps, wind, loose bunks, ending up on top of the Shorelander guides, etc. I finally went to the Rope-a-Boat (or rope-a-dope as...

80 is fine
My 80 Terrova pulls around my 07 19Pro V just fine. I'd spend the extra cash on an I-pilot. One less battery to worry about also. Do you have a 3 or 4 bank charger? Sure 101 would be nice if the...

RPM's
Watch your RPM's on that new prop. The same 19P 4 blade will pull some RPM's off your max and you should run your Vrod at max RPM's (not sure of what that number is on the 4cyl) for at least some...
