Ugh! I guess there are no docks there and you have to beach it? That would make me cringe BIG TIME! You made a good purchase there; it is an awesome boat. I would drive by it almost everyday on the BT lot and just admire the quality and design. Congrats again!

I think you’re right. I was actually in a text thread with Kelly (payupsucka) and he recommended just this after I was complaining of the difference between turning in and out and how the boat reacted so. Much different around the docks with turning in. The next day we ran it was way better when I had the drives kicked out more. Still not as good as spinning out and being able ti
just walk it around the docks with the sticks (no wheel), but a lot more manageable with the drives kicked out so the thrust of the prop isn’t just pushing agains the transom.

That’s how they roll in havasu. Beach it up. Charmaine sand in that photo is super fine. I actually checked the keel when I got it on the trailer and it was good to go. But I get it. I try to just coast in real soft. I’m actually more worried about passengers bringing sand from their feet and walking on the deck. This, the yellow towel on the bow in the photo

Bet that was pretty cool hitting 65-70 where the old boat topped out at and then realizing you still had 20-30+mph left in her.

thisistank

for sure. It just purrs at 70. Barely into boost.

hit 90 for a short burst and it was not trimmed out well and only 46/4700 RPM. still plenty left.

That blower surge sounds Great!!!

Sounds like you could benefit from a few trimsync buttons on the dash.

I bet you've ridden in a few top gun unlimited's or maybe a few twin step top gun's. What is the difference in ride at the higher speeds in a twin step cigarette vs a big power non-step cigarette?

thisistank

trimming wasn’t the problem I just wasn’t running long enough to mess with it.

and maaaaaaaaan I ain’t getting into a “ford vs Chevy” debate lol. I will say, I’ve never been disappointed in a twin step cigarettes ride. Rough or calm.

but I do love a big old school straight bottom big power, big drive cigarette (obviously).

W 6's to boot. Looks Great man.
