I do not, and I never have any trouble. The only questions I get along the way are "where you goin?" And "can I go?" It's well balanced and pulls very easily with my single axle 3500HD. The only challenge is trees when you get off the highway...she is tall.

Thanks,she does look tall. Do you like the radar arch? What motors do you have in the beast? How many gallons do you burn per hour @ what rpm & cruise speed? I like the black hull,pretty boat.

The arch is pretty necessary for the 2 part top, speakers, grab bars for docking, and it just looks goofy without it. If it was just the arch the trees would be more managable...its the stuff on top that clips **** occasionally. Its right at 13'6" with the satellite TV, GPS puck, horn, anchor light, etc.

350 mags and it jumps right up no matter what load I have. I always run full fuel and full water, and all my family's stuff of course. I can have 4 people or 12 people and getting the boat up on plane is a non-issue. There are a lot of other pocket cruisers similar in size like Sea Ray's, Rinkers, etc that are near this in size and guys bought them with one big block in them. Those are lighter and still aren't fun to own trying to dick around getting them out of their own way with a full load. Formula did it right with the 2 small blocks I don't watch fuel much because it just doesn't use much, but an early half ass calculation I burned 13-15gph cruising. Optimal cruise for fuel is 28 and at that speed its sitting pretty low in the water and good for cutting through some rough water...its more comfortable for me to get it up out of the water a little more and run 33-35. Top end on GPS is 51-52 with a full load, top up, and full crew. Top down, half fuel, just me in the boat it just touches 54 and I had to spend some time learning how to get it there. Its a tank for its size LOL but i love it.

Drives fixed, back in the water
