Default First test ride tomorrow (272 SR1); final tips?

I've seen a few in person so far but I'm finally taking a ride on one tomorrow (gotta fly all day today to get there). After all this looking, this will be my first ride/drive in an offshore.
Thanks for the help so far,
Michael

PS: Just when I thought I was done looking I came across a 311 for $24k. I need to stick to my "small block" guns though...

Outlaw has a very nice boat. For the money, a swim platform is small dollars relatively speaking.

Treads ,
FOs platform is gone. I recently tried to buy it from him because it was the higher style like yours.

I should make a mold of mine and start producing aftermarket platforms. Seems as though there are quite a few opportunities here.

But to address handfulz issue, if you really like a boat and can get a great (if not tremendous) deal, then the cost of some type of platform (tube, plank or otherwise) is a minimal expense in the overlkal picture. Just my .02
