Picked up my new Sea Pro yesterday and took it for a test run. Only
ran it for an hour and was trying to adhere to the break in instructions so spent most of the time poking around the bay. Pretty windy with a good chop and only got a couple of drops of spray in crosswind. Gets on plane quickly and adjusting the jack plate and trim tabs definitely makes a difference - only tried it a few times at different settings so I'll learn more later. Boat didn't seem to like lower RPM levels (2600) - seemed to wallow a little but was improved by dropping the trim tabs a little. Really felt good at 3200 or so clipping along at 35 mph or so - real solid and responsive. I really like the hydraulic steering although it takes a little getting used to - not as responsive as cable but much more stable and effortless. Plan to leave for the bay later this afternoon and run it this weekend if it doesn't rain - supposed to be in upper 60's tomorrow and mid 70's Sunday so maybe I'll learn more. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Take care. Tom........... |
