I love this freakin boat!!! A great day on the water! Starting to really get the feel for what it can do. I was out with a buddy with his outboard. We were turning around and I just spun and was off in the other direction.

It actually threw a half decent wake with 8 people onboard....little mushy, but I'm not flipping anymore so...fun for surface stuff.

Thought I'd add.

1. Didn't have a problem with rope coming off tow hook while tubing, although I think I kept enough tension on the line.

2. Used XPS lube for first time after cleaning, makes everything look new!

3. Noticed when I slow down quickly, I need to kind of goose the throttle a bit to keep water from swim platform.

4. Max temp all day was 190. Consistently between 187-190.

5. Fuel consumption wasn't to good with 8 people and towing, but 5 hours and came back empty. Like EMPTY.

6. Was coming to dock, then decided to do a couple more runs the last second so I just reversed and turned around in what I believe to be a tight space for me in between the docks below.

Cleaned the crap out of the boat today. Had some trouble wiping the entire bilge, going to have to get a sponge on a stick. What do you guys use in the bilge to clean? I can't get the far back...IMG_0721.JPGIMG_0720.JPG
