Well I finally got the boat in the water. What an experience!!! The boat is totally different from what I have owned in the past (deck boat don’t laugh). This is one of the finest riding boats I have ever been in. The two things that I had to get use to were the V- Bottom when turning and Trim Tabs. But with a little more time under my belt this will not be a problem. I hope someday to ride in a 16 &18 to compare. One thing I noticed with the tabs is one adjusted further than the other did. My thinking is that maybe it is binding or air in the system. Anyone have any ideas? One other question I have is the person who owned the boat before me had his registration numbers paint on the hull. How does one remove these numbers? I hope I do not have to repaint!!!!

Try a little Acetone and rub gently on painted area, If you remove clean area, compond, then wax (Dont use a course compond)
