Hi Guys,
Had my maiden voyage yesterday. Lots of cool crane pics that I will post later tonight. Had a newb question here. On the sea trial I was told to keep the bow out of the water when cruising, but it seems that it makes a huge wake, and that means you're plowing water. Is it more effiecient to use the tabs to lower the bow and create less wake? I'd rather not test it out while burning rediculas amounts of fuel!
Top speed yesterday was 27MPH boat weighs in at 22,000 pounds according to the crane. Also my windlass i think is the original. it says "good windlass" on it. It will only let the anchor down about 3 feet, then the motor just spins without dropping it any more. It picks it up just fine. Any suggestions?
