205 is a home run so far.
Been out on a 10 long mile lake breaking it in. No big waves yet but plenty of wake boats. The combo of boat and the new 250 Pro XS 4 stroke is pretty impressive. Awesome torque from idle to 5800 rpm. Only brought it up that high twice for a short period. Motor has 3 hrs on it. I definitely had more but still trying to understand its handling, trim needs, etc. plus dont want to hurt that motor. Sooo different than my Cougar, responds differently in every way. Holeshot is impressive yet odd, starts of like the nose is going to really climb but before you know it the boat quickly breaks over and accelerates. Could be that Im running a 24 4 blade Fury wide open holes. Plan on solid plugs in least half of them. Next thing you know your at 65 but you feel like your driving a car at 65 it is that comfortable and easy. Im sure low to mid 70s will be very easy to get. Responds great to trim. Feels softer than my Cougar as I hit some pretty big boat wakes and it has a nice damp feeling to it. Overall, Im very happy I made this move. Long Champlain runs are in its future this weekend. We will see if it comes back from that in one piece, if its rough and it comes back crack free, Falcon could be a boat for life. Love the rod and battery hatches !! Simple/Sturdy boat that has everything you need.
