They like to be Neutral when turning, not bow down, not bow up. Set them right and they are fine, this spinner chit is an old wives tale. Feel it out and in no time you will find yourself comfortable. I just came back from my first afternoon in the new twin step 35 Lightning, and I love the way this thing works.

Why don't you post the whole deal here? And the fact that he has not responded the post I put up. I gave up 22 footers 25 years ago, when you get to this level then offer opinions, till then reserve your comments to what you might know WTF you're talking about.

I am not the one who told someone how to run a boat. You seem to know everything about everything!!!!! That being said, why would you tell some one what applies to a "F"ountain will apply to thier Formula????? Two totally different boats with different handling characteristics?!?!?!?
I posted the link to the thread, therefore I would say everyone that cares can look at the WHOLE deal!!!
I am very happy for you that you gave up 22 footers 25 years ago. My family and I have just as much fun on my junk as you do on your overpriced POS production boat. Even more prob. with gas prices!!
As far as knowing "WTF" I am talking about, I don't need to know anything because I only read and copied YOUR words and Tres' reply to them. So why don't you chill out and take your "F"ountain for a spin!

Sounds like the man has who knows every thing about boats , has a lot to learn when it comes to dealing with people . At least anger management , and who knows what else Do we all have to see things his way ,don't think so . As far as picking on D it just makes you look foolish . Why don't you take your words of wisdom back to your beak buddy site . They may be more interested !!!

Sad to that to see that you judge a man by the boat he drives .Whats next money or the color of his skin .You may want to come down to the chesapeake and do a poker run so you can show all how its done . As far as D , the man his brother and cousin have all owned Velocity boats for years .Your problem is with what Tres said , not D for repeating it . I getting tired of all the neg feed back from you. If you can't get over it , please come down to the bay and show me , I'll run you any time , you can pick the time place and course . Wonder if it still rides like a Caddy if you leave your lake . Hope to see you real soon !!! Bring that little boat and big ego with you . Make my day !!!
