[QUOTE="BoatDawg4120, post: 304393, member: 9832"] Tested the new deck on the water this weekend. Saturday myself and two other guys all went out for 5 hours on the boat. Even with all 3 of us standing up fishing the tipping and rocking was minimal. No one went swimming!!!!. 8mph with the 3 of us on board and a little chop from the wind that day. Not too bad. I was expecting worse with that much added weight. We didnt catch anything except for a decent buzz. Took the boat out again sunday with just one other person. Didnt break any speed records and i didnt track it but the boat did plane off with the two of us on there a few times. Wind really picked up later in the day and we fought a 2 1/2 ft quartering swell ON A LAKE!!!!. It was pretty rediculous. Needless to say we had to take it easy on the way back in to keep from getting soaked by the spray. That and i had my 17month old daughter on the boat with us and she didnt want to get wet either haha. Anxious to get on the water by myself with it and see how it planes then. Should do fairly well.
