I remember you posting about the fire. Can't imagine going through that.
I will presume that 40 footer handles a whole lot different than your Yamaha.

Yes it does handle different because of her size comes weight, which is a good thing in comparison. We can take her out on days that we wouldn't even dream of taking the Yamaha out in. I ease up the throttle to get on plane and I ease it down to come off of plane versus gunning the throttles on the Yamaha. When I'm on plane she throws a 6 foot wave so if I come off plane too fast I get rolled by my own wake. I've got a friend who wants to surf it's wake believe it or not. When we do it I'm sure there will be a chase boat and video involved.

She is a beautiful boat @PEARCE . I like this style more than the other. But the other was a great boat.

Thanks Dan, @DCB-270 I like it better too. Jill liked the other one more because of the interior space and separation. To me it was more of a floating condo then a boat. This one runs a lot better and rides better with more efficiency. We can run from Highport to the dam in 45 mins no matter the sea state. I'm quite impressed with that!

With the high temp of 22 degrees today and a hight of 7 tomorrow, summer can't get here soon enough. Stay safe Okie's.
