Ok, first time is out of the way. Learned what chine walking is and how to prevent it for the most part. Thanks for all the advice and input. Boat ran great and is plenty fast for me as is! Even let the wife drive!

Thanks Red32. I can see seat time will be in order. Where I don't have to think about where the control is or how fast or slow it needs to be adjusted. I spent about 7 of the 10 hrs that I put on it this weekend over 70mph. In different water. Had to do some adjusting to my throttle. They were about 1200 RPM off from one another. It is a nice feeling when you start raising those tabs and trim. I can definetely feel when I hit the pad!

Everything gets critical when you get going fast throttle , trim ,even to much weight on one side . You'll get better every time you run.

Do you have fans in your cabin? I'm looking for some nice fans and have no clue where to buy a good one!
