I took the Ballistic 223 out for the first time last weekend, and I am still smiling!
First let me start off by saying I came out of a Ranger Z520 and nothing against Ranger as it was a good boat.
But to say I am a Ballistic fan is an understatement. After the 2 hour break in and some seat time I was able to get it up to 77MPH and it seemed to have a bit more, still getting comfortable and finding the best settings. I am very happy that I made the decision to go Ballistic. This thing rides as good as it looks. To top it off I was able to put the trolling motor down and break it in with a few fish, always nice!
most of us have seen falconpilots driving videos on here and I have to say the one that he is riding in the waves at a pretty good speed is the real deal, it runs through that kind of stuff like nobody’s business.
I am still working on the hole shot as the prop wants to blow out right before break over. I have 2 full and 1 small plug in now and I still need to feather it a little. I may need to plug all the holes to see if that helps it stay hooked up better, we will see.
I am one happy owner!
