Congratulations on the new boat! You are right the boat is a big giant battleship! What type/size/pitch prop do you have? Mine pulled right when trimming it up, but at the top end of the range. Still…maxed out at 51 mph and it was only for a moment. Realistically 49 mph felt comfortable. I am definitely suspending judgement until I have several more hours at the helm.
My Lake Erie trip is scheduled to start on April 12. I hope we get some better conditions than we have been seeing in Wisconsin for the last few weeks. We are about to get dumped on by 4-6 inches of snow today and tomorrow. Yuck.
