A little late to the party, these are from Memorial Day weekend. I have never seen Lake Huron this calm for two days in a row! We took a run to the Blue Water Bridge, grabbed some lunch then the kids decided to do some tubing....burrrrrr. My gauge said that the water temp was 63 degrees.[img]

Great pics everyone!
RS, how's your vinyl holding up over the engine hatch?

Vinyl is holding up very well. After the red die situation and cleaning it with Acetone I was a little nervous but so far so good.

Ya, I was wondering about that. Hopefully the threads don't deteriorate too much.
Again, thanks for the pics.

Iowariverrat, how does that 220 handle the rough water? I've always liked the looks of them, but wondered how they would handle chop.
I haven't had any issues in rough water yet. Bfun was in the middle of a wash cycle last year at TRL and he just hammered down and crushed them. It was awesome to watch. Lol

No problems with 220 in tough water. Adjust the trim hit the waves between 90 degrees and 45 degrees and hold on. I'd say 220 handles waves better than some manufacturers 25/26 foot boats.

Kyle,
She does pretty well through the rough stuff if you hit it right, can be a bit of a bruiser if I’m tentative or am going slower when I’ve got non-boaters riding. I’ve found that if i run at a calm cruise 2700- 3k RPMs I get a little beat up but at 3700-4 it cuts like butter. Our reservoir turns into a bathtub real quick and I’ve never felt out of control or like it was too small. The 454 mag helps with that, when in doubt I just let her eat a little bit.
