Great looking boat, I agree with everyone, take your time, learn the boat, but what could it hurt taking the class, I would bet you'd learn something.
Good luck enjoy your ride.

My thoughts exactly. WTF?
Job security?

Just to clarify here, not trying to imply that I am the master of all things performance boating. No doubt any of us could benefit from a few tips from someone in the know. Just feel that the tips would be of more value comming from someone that knows and understands the design of one's particuliar hull design. To me a performance boat driving school should be someplace that one could go and spend some time learning the ins and outs of ones own design with the people that designed and built it.

Now this is what I'm talking about!
Did Reggie happen to explain this "unknown PSI of Steps" chit to you while you were there?

Anyone wanting to know more about HP driving instruction can give me a call. A phone discussion will have anyone pumped up about what you could potentially learn

Tes When a step bottom boat is underway each step has PSI to each one in quick terms they must retain balance to operate through a turn , if the PSI grow to the front step, creating drag or unbalanced High PSI it will grab and the weight from rear of the boat wants to travel forward, cause a slide and when it catches, it high sides the persons in the boat.
