This group is out for a day on the water with family and friends, I  
imagine.

Maybe I just don't understand powerboats, but I swear this boat would  
move faster, be more comfortable, and use less fuel if it were trimmed  
to run closer to level.  This one is obviously set up to run bow high  
- see how the outboard is set vertical with the bow up like this?   
Some things I just don't understand, but then I am a sailor, not a  
powerboater.    :-)

D300, etc.

C&C always welcome.

Have a nice weekend.  See you Monday.


Regards,

Dick
