    Takin' her out for the first time!!!!

    I finally got my boat here and i'm gonna get her in the water this saturday. Any pointers or anything to watch out for? This is my first gambler. Any help would greatly be apreciated. I have an 02 2100/ zr2 package with a 250 xb.

    Thanks

    Dont over-trim until you get used to it.

    Play around with it a little and get use to the controls trim/ jackplate and all the other goodies.. And start out slow then a little faster each time until you get a good feel for it.. As already stated the Gamblers have a lot of natural bow lift so you want need much positive trim more motor height and less positive trim than your standard boats... Once you get use to the way it drives and the controls you will love it...

    if your not use to it you'll experience chine usually around 65mph.this isnt the boat. it takes seat time.if you do experience chine trim down slowly untill it goes away and then trim up slowly.im not an expert on hi performance boats but of all the ones ive been in the gambler has the best ride .you'll love it!!

    Thanks for your info guys. I took her out Sat. Morning. It defnatley take some seat time to get use to everyting and I didn't want to push it too soon, but WOW!!! I absolutley LOVED everything about it. Gamblers are byfar the greatset performing boats out there. I am looking forward to more seat time next weekend and gettin her dialed in!!!!

    If you have any questions just let me know I will try and help the best I can...
    People just don't believe that a 80+ mph boat can ride good then most have never been in a Gambler !!!!!
