took her out for the fist time today ,this baby goes drove really easy to about 58-60 mph then started chine walking tried a little seesaw with the wheel and got her up to 67.2 mph gps but got out of shape and backed out slowly and trimed down. my previous tin boat only ran 40 .the wind protection is fantastic and it's pretty cold up here.the fellow i bought the boat from offerd to come out with me to help me get some seat time and i'm going to call him! i'v read that alot of people get scared when they try driving these boats and want to sell them, I LOVE THIS BOAT ! i'm going to practice driving or like they say GIT R DONE!
