A/T driving skills.
 
I would like to see what input you guys have on this one, what difference in driving technique is there when going from a traditional non step deep vee to the single large step A/T ? I have ridden with Pat and wow what an experience but wanted to know what basic pointers you guys have. I am signing up for the tres martin school this spring but since its winter and cant drive it yet I thought i would throw it out there.

It's pretty hard to "mess up" the DDC/AVH AT, but there are two golden rules to any step bottom boat.

Don't trim in when turning. Keep them trimmed out to keep the transom planted.

Don't rapidly decelerate when turning. This will also loosen the back of the boat, and get you out of shape.

Lasz, Did you pick up the boat yet? If not I'm not far from it and we can take it out when it warms up a bit...We'll figure it out one way or another!!!!:cool::grinser010:

He's picking it up at 9AM tomorrow. He's picking up his trailer (from me) tonight.

Got your text Brian...Wish I could go but I'm helping my brother out tomorrow.:angry-smiley-038:

Just picked up Brians Trailer and picking it up for the haul back home in the morning, should be fun in the snow white out we had on our way down here as well as DC traffic with 60' of truck and trailer.
