Ok I had my new to me 2000 Champion 190SX out last saturday..

I am a newbie
The lake that my parents are on is only 515 square acres so I am sure it wasn't that rough, but it was very windy!!

Tham champion felt great over the waves. Even my friend that owns Stratos 386XF was like wow this thing is smoother than mine and even though his is built for larger water.

When turning (well more like going in large circle counter clockwise) the waves would hit the front of the boat just right where I would get a nice amount of splash. I would say get soaked, but it was a nice amount.. The manual for my motor says to trim down/in for rough water..

I was thinking, maybe I should have kept it trimmed out/up a little to keep the bow of the boat higher?

Sorry if I am asking stupid questions..
