That was my first time running that hull. It was Brandon's (1blubyu) with a 225 ProXS and two power poles. He really has the boat set up really nice to fish and some unique mounts for front graph, etc.
I met up with him to check out the way the boat was setup and see if we needed to do some adjustments on the jackplate. My goal was also to get some cool pics of the boat in the water, running, etc. As with all great plans, things get in the way. I had some personal issues that caused me to be running very late and I only had about 30 minutes to run. So, I failed to get any pics. I was more worried about getting to run the boat and make sure the setup wasn't way off and just forgot to snap any more pics.
Was able to get the boat up to 73 with he and I, 30+ gallons of fuel, and all of his gear. It drove just like my 721 did. I asked Brandon how hard of a turn he had put it in and he said pretty sharp. To which I replied hold on and turned as hard as I could at around 65 and the boat bit in and spun right around with us heading the other direction. Brandon simply said I haven't done it that hard...lol.
The power pole brackets are hindering holeshot without a doubt and I'm not 100% sure they aren't ticking the water a little bit while running. He has a couple of new brackets coming in the near future and I think then we will be able to get it dialed in a little more. I feel like it has some more left in it, but we agreed that he will get some more seat time, and get comfortable in it before we do any real tweaking.
Brandon, it is an amazing boat. Thanks for letting me play a few minutes. We'll do it again soon.![]()
