What purpose does the integrated engine set-back serve?
Back the boat off the trailer and you notice smoother handling in reverse. From the take-off, the set-back creates less bow rise and quicker planing. On the top end, the integrated set-back gives you even better speed. And once you have arrived, no backwash over the transom. This doesn’t mean the performance of a model without a set-back is compromised; it means that the set-back gives you a little bit more.
