Nice boat! Enjoy! Keep in mind that "No Wake Mode" does not necessarily mean no wake (go figure). Take the time to go out practice slow speed maneuvering. Dual engines are your friend around the dock. Take if very slow and easy.

Thanks for the advice. I have practiced a good amount over the past 6 weeks of ownership. We are in a river most of the time so that adds an extra element of current to the docking, but I am getting more confident each time out. I wouldn't say that I am good at it yet, but I don't get nervous anymore like I used to!
