[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 295437, member: 10361"] You'd think the company would have helped figure out why they had to honor that warranty 4 times! Sounds like it worked out for the best though. I had a blast on the water today, was out for a few hours this time. Other than an annoying off idle hesitation, she ran great. Old gas though, so some fresh will probably make a difference. Adjusting the steering geometry for a slower ratio helped stabilize things at high speed, 35mph is not a balancing act anymore. Comfortable cruising speed is 25-30. Going to make another steering stick that will let my wrist rest more naturally, right now it gets cramped up during extended runs. Hull still shows no signs of any problems, solid and leak free. Flex during high speed was something I was concerned about from reading others experiences from grafting hulls together, and the simple fact that Jon boats weren't designed to go 35mph. Really glad none of that has been an issue here. Boat is still very stable when going through wakes and choppy water, but it does get out of the water enough to unload the pump as you will hear in the video, luckily it's rare that I'd have to go through stuff like that. River is pretty calm here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd4eheHMCg8 [/QUOTE]
