So did you get to run your own boat over the weekend?

Yes, we took it out on the lake yesterday with the owner once again, to test if the speedo was working yet. It's still not working properly, so the marina mechanic will take a look at it today or tomorrow.

As for the boat, I already have it stored at the marina, and as soon as the speedo is fixed, the boat will be officially mine. Here's a picture from yesterday:



Hot as all hell outside. it was about 105 when this picture was taken! Nothing new for AZ though

Took her out again on Saturday..what a blast! Had a close call with parking at the convenience dock (almost took out 2 other boats!) haha, but just made it between two boats and parked perfectly. Can't wait to get out there again this weekend!

Glad you made it out unscathed! I have had a few close calls with my 250. I can not compare the no wake zone handling of this boat to any of the other boats I've maneuvered. It feels bow heavy, for lack of a better way of describing it. Like it pivots on the stern. I don't know how to describe it. I have the Bravo I and have been trying to find a Bravo III for some time now to promote better marina handling. I put those tabs on and they helped the low speed wander but have done nothing for the odd turning it has at low speed. It also seems like any little breeze bosses the bow around. Its like magnified movement compered to the other boats I'm familiar with.
Speaking of the handling I loading the cuddy with the ice chests, food, majority of supplies with 6 on board. It handled awesome at cruising an did not have an issue getting up on plane though it took more throttle than usual.
