WOW !!!!!
Just got finished wth the sea trial (and the lift, even with nearly 900 extra pounds added to simulate fuel/gear, worked fine) and I am blown away. The boat jumped on plane easily, topped out at nearly 50mph and cruised at 34 mph getting 3.1 mpg. All the data is from the command link guages as the Lowrance HDS 8 hasnt been installed yet. The boat handled like a dream around the docks and through the no wake zones it was straight as an arrow with very little bow steer. After we cleared the no wake zone I eased the digital throttle (SMOOTH) open and the 250 pushed it up on plane unbelievably quick with hardly any bow rise. We rode around and I fiddled with the trim tabs and crossed a few wakes, I was expecting to slam from the wakes but to my relief it was'nt nearly as bad as I had read it would be. Its not "Regulator" smooth but it rides as nice or better than my old 21 Hydra-Sports.
You may be able to tell that I am pleased with the boat
Sometimes you get on a boat and everything just seems to mesh and be a perfect fit, thats my feeling after trialing this one. I may have felt the same way about the 2120, the fuel burn figures for that boat are impressive as well.
New love is a wonderful thing, though it makes it hard to see the flaws. If there was a flaw here I certainly didnt notice it. I hope 2 years from now I feel the same way.
The dealer is installing the electronics and rocket launchers and I should be able to pick it up this weekend. I will have my camera with me (forgot today) and will try to figure out how to post pics.
Thanks everyone for helping me decide between two great boats.
