You will have the left hand controls down by the end of the day. The upside down trim switches and indicators on the dash take longer to get used to. The throttle trim switch works the conventional way, so do the tabs and their indicators.

Something else to note is turning authority using only the drives while docking, because fountain props spin in they can take a bit to get used to, be patient and give it more space to turn than your old boat.

Congrats! You will start looking forward to choppy water, if yours is anything like mine it will before better in the rough at high speed than cruising, let her eat :d

Congrats on the new boat! Have the Reggie hairdo yet! Just please stay with us here on the PQ forum; you're too knowledgeable about the PQs for us to lose.
