    First trip out!!!

    All i can say is WOW!!
    The boat rides like my wifes Cadillac...for an almost 1600lb boat it sure gets up and goes quick..I didn't have my GPS with me but i was really impressed with the speed of the boat.Plus with all the tug boats i couldn't run like i wanted.But i got to see how it rides in the rufff stuff.The motor is flawless.I'll get gps speeds later.all i can say is
    I LOVE THIS THING!!!!.

    GREAT!!! Glad you enjoy the boat & it's performance, even if it's not a Bullet with a 300

    Corals do have a great holeshot for some reason. They usually out gun a lot of bass boats out of the hole......
    Just wait until you get a better prop on it!

    The 4 blade on the boat is a 24 Power Tech..My prop guy had a 25 Fury he wanted me to try.Thats the prop i ran..Good overall.

    I & my friend with the 202/225EFI like yours would be very interested in exactly how that 25 Fury runs. If you could also try a 25 Tempest and compare the 2, that would be very interesting also, as the 25 Tempest has sort of been the go-to prop for these rigs.

    People who have tried the Fury on the Cobra bass boats have given mixed to poor reviews. Nobody has admitted to trying one on a Coral yet-I think it could be the shitz......

    I'll get my gps to get the speeds..The hole shot through top end was good with the 25 Fury.It looks like it has 3/4" vent holes.I'll get a Tempest also to try..

    I think that with the fuel tank set in the back it lets the bow lift better and that gives better hole shot. It should run pretty good.
