Another tip for boats with a notched transom......
When maneuvering, trim the engines up a bit to redirect the prop wash from the reverse engine down a bit and under the boat. Otherwise, the wash hits the notch and pushes the boat forward. Think about it..........

Appreciate the replies guys. I will keep these tips in mind. I'll bring up the topic with my wife and see if shes comfortable helping me out. I realized the high maintenance costs of running a 1075, and thats why I am leaning more towards a boat with 700s. My first choice was to try and find a 40 foot cat, but the prices of those are alot higher than fountains and I heard insurance for a cat is killer compared to a V
