New to me!
 

Just got my 02 320 this weekend! I'm Pumped! With no where in Arkansas to take it out! Debree Everywhere! Any 320 owners with some knowledge hit me up!

Past owner, not current. Only advise would be to take your time and be careful learning the boat. That model can be a real handfull. Be safe.

Sound like good advise! I got to test it out before I bought it. It is something to get use to! Haven't got it on the pad yet!

def different at-speed than other Vees..take your time & enjoy!

what do you mean by different? Squirley?

The boat has a pad along the keel towards the rear of the boat and when at speed it becomes a balancing act while riding on that pad.

If you have any smaller V-pad boat experience you'll be fine. If not, take your time and learn how the boat reacts to small left to right steering inputs as you try to counter-act the tendency to chine walk. :drink:

Chine walk? Haven't heard that term. I've been talking to Kenny about it some and he told me to take baby steps. I tend to always go big or go home! I was told I will fill it when I start hitting the pad, like it's floating. Sound rite?

Chine walk is where the boat begins to dance side to side. Here is a you tube video link of a boat chine walking http://youtu.be/MJ63zJCtYUs

A video is worth a 1000 words. Here's a vid of the 32' 03 I use to own. I'v danced. At the start of the vid my k-planes got stuck in the up position. This is chine walking at it's best. We also did a little wake jumping that day. Watch the vid to the end and trust what Kenny said, "baby steps".
