Default Tres Martin Performance Boat School !!!

ANYONE who owns a performance boat NEEDS to attend Tres's school. I went with a little doubt that I would learn anything but WOW, what I didn't know. Tres is a super guy that will spend time with you answering questions.

The first day we did the classroom thing with the exam at the end of the day, ( I failed so I have to attend summer school). The class was VERY interesting and informative.

The second day we hit the water......

Tres pull's up with a secret weapon under cover for us to use on a beautiful lake !!!

Tres explains the pre-boat check of checking the drives and flids and making sure you can get your fire Ext. out if needed.

As we idle out, Tres explains the proper settings for all types of running. Including the settings for your tabs for a "No Wake" zone.
