Default First run?

For the first run of the season, should you take it easy with the boat? or drive normal? why or why not?

I'm an equal opportunity
abuser, I run it the same all season long.

Besides, the lake lice havent came out
of winter dormancy yet, you don't have
to worry about running them over

Running them over?? I wish I had that problem!! When you have sail boats walking away from you, are you still a powerboater?

dont forget the drive oil !!!!!!!!

I change mine in the fall,, just to get the yuckies out.

engine oil gets changed in fall winterization, and again in the spring in case any condensation got in there,,, of course,,, this year I just pulled the motor instead !!!!!!
