I need to try that I suppose!

So, we went out this weekend and I trimmed up just a little while riding in pretty rough water. Made all the difference in the world.

The reason I never tried it is because the 232 would bow slap in semi-rough water when the bow was raised. The 220 rides like a champ with the bow raised.

Guess we don't have to sell it now :lol:

That's good. I would have made you a offer. Lol
They all ride different. I'm amazed how mine is with no people in the bow. To me it feels so light that the bow is going to come up and over on me. Lol
I had a 180 almost do that to us once. Not a fun feeling. I made my son last weekend go up there when we were doing water sports. Normally we always have a few up there.

Nice!

Yes, the main difference I notice between the 220 and our old 232 is how responsive it is when turning. These things will turn and turn hard. Not to mention how fast they get on plane.

We are starting to really like this boat.

No no, I think it's the 190. I'm pretty sure someone said it's the best model ever made but I forget who..
