    Do you have a transducer mounted to the transom that could be deflecting the spray?

    Is this the first time it happened, or just the first time you may have noticed it?

    this is the 206 thats been in for warranty all year and know haven't lost anything notable just 1 mph and that can be attributed to anything (on erie) so i don't think i lost anything it actually handled much better!

    Is that funny tail after you've held it down a while? I've seen them act funny until you're strung out.

    Then again, if the boat is running right, acting right, it's nothing to concern, pretty is as pretty does.
