Went for a test ride last night with Skywalker .

the steering cable came loose ,at the end of the video. and a few hose clamps loosened up . other than that no problems

 

[Matt_E]

Well, what are you riding impressions?

 

[chad]

The hull feels very light , and it will take a bit to get to where I feel more comfortable with it . and I can give a better review, But it wants to leap out of the water it will almost break the surface of the water from idle.

coming off half to full throttle watch out .... the nose drops quick and it will throw you over the front of the bars. I also was pitched a few times trying to see how fast I could go .



Skywalker rode with me last night and loved it ..he thinks once the trim is worked out it will go around,
. I am sure he will chime in sometime to give his opinion,,, he wants to drop his 1200 into one!

Looks and sounds like yours rides like mine then.

 

[ncbrock]

that things sounds MEAN! I knew what you were running but forgot when I clicked the video and thought you were running some big bore xscream. Was really surprised to see that is a 701!

 

[Waternut]

So I'm curious... how fast do you actually think you can go on that hull before it starts scaring you? Have you gotten to ride it in choppy water yet?

 

[chad]

I dunno , I know this boat will not be a high speed boat .. It has pitched me at about 30 (guess)a few times ..

I am not sure what you mean by scare me

I have not had a chance to ride it in chop yet

 

[Waternut]

I guess by scare I mean that point where the hull begins to get unstable and out of control. I typically can feel the hull walk all over the place and just below that point is where I'm comfortable. Unfortunately, my comfort zone right now is not fast enough to keep up with any boats.
