The best thing to do is not buy a 2005-2008 260da!!!!!!!!!!! Yes you can adjust the trim, but unless you like poking the trim buttons all the time...wind change, poke the trim buttons. People move around, poke the trim buttons. Wakes from other boats, poke the trim buttons. Use fuel off, poke trim buttons. Current direction change, poke the trim buttons. Are you getting me. I can manage my boat so you would never know of trim issues, unless you watch me drive. And the question has been asked of me 1000 times. Why are you pushing thoes buttons all the time for? I just tell people it is a dead man option offered by Sea Ray, safety, you know, if I don't push thoes buttons the boat will come to a stop. Like the trains have. Ha, very funny. Some people don't know the difference and believe me.

Thank you Tom, it's nice to hear some form of acknowledgement from another owner. There is a big difference in the boats. The reality is the "22" foot hull became a 19 foot "wetted surface" hull. I discovered this when I was buying a custom trailer from EZ Loader and couldn't get the trailer I wanted. The weight of the boat on plane is trying to be balanced on a small foot print, and balance becomes an issue.
