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.

Put that jack plate through it's paces and report back.

I'd be really interested in how that does in snarky wave action.

Later,

Tom
