Just got the new XRS on the water today and was able to get the first hour of break-in done... Half tank of gas, myself and my son in the boat, no tackle or rods, life vests, throw cushion, other small stuff, the hole shot was awesome!! Instant break over no slip or blow out, Bob's all the way down and trim all the way down. It was 180 degrees different than 2014 XRS with the 250 Pro XS... My set up is a 300R, 1:75, 31 Bravo FS with the holes plugged. More info to come in the following weeks.
