I picked up my new boat from C & O yesterday. I got the blue BasSport Pro with a 250XS on it. I drove the dog out of my truck yesterday trying to get it home so I could get some seat time. Made it in about 2:30 and spent an hour or so driving at different speeds and trim angles. Let me tell you, this is nothing like driving any other boat I have driven!! With just me and a full tank of gas i had the thing walking all over the TN river. I think people were getting some good entertainment watching me try to drive it. As I got more seat time I got better but still a long way to go. I got it up to 82-83mph a couple of times. With two people in the boat 83 was fairly stable. The lake had about 1.5-2ft chop and whitecaps and the boat still ran 80+ as smooth as silk. I have owned several diferent 20ft boats including a Z-20, Stratos, Legend and this boat handles rough water far better than any of them. We hit some swells and I got most of the boat out of the water several times and when it came down on the next swell it felt like it was coming down on a cushion. The layout on the boat is near perfect as well as the build quality. As usual the C & O crowd went over and above my expectations. Maybe Todd will give me a driving lesson one day!
