Took our boat out for it’s initial break in !

Congrats we’ve got the same version and love it more and more. Low gas consumption relatively speaking, nice layout and easy to tow.

Oh yeah.. The cup holder plastic lock rings, put some 3m double sided tape if you are towing a lot as mine were flying out. The screws that hold the Bimini front poles, the ones with black little manual handles, I put locktite on mine as i lost one off my Bimini and it almost flew off on highway before the locktite. I replaced my front roller on the trailer with a stoltz to prevent scratching and finally, I put Goodyear tires on my trailer as I tow it far (I got a flat on Carlisle Chinese tires after 2 months). My glove box eventually fell out too in Florida on rough waters, so I bought jb weld to get the cheap hot glue they used solidified. For depth finder, you probably have one in your 2020, my 19 did not so I installed a chart plotter ... have fun. Hope you don’t experience these but if any of it helps, I learned those over 1 yr. good news is there all Small things.

Our glove box keeps flying open. Outside of that our fuel consumption during break in was about 15 gallons for 3.5 hrs of boating. Gas is cheap now ! Lol thanks for the other suggestions ! One thing that I found odd was the clean out was full of water after we pulled out of the water ? Odd, but maybe water splashed up when I was zero turning a bit I just pulled the clean out plug and drained it.

North East Ohio. (Salem) Temps were in the 60’s... performed as I hope. Got to get used to this jet drive over props for sure. Lol. Don’t be afraid to throttle it I guess.

Clean out is always full of water from slowing down water piles in there. My glove box I meant the whole glove box fell on the floor lol.

Fixed the glove box issue ! Simply shimmed our the latch a bit and it secured nicely. Wasn’t forced into place under pressure like before and after navigating some choppy water it stayed in place.
