Now I'm not trying to be mean spirited to you guys back east so please don't get me wrong... Who knows maybe this will help with all the snow back there and everything. <br /><br />We got the Sea Ray on the lake by 7:55am yesterday, what a morning, not even a breath of wind. It was about 60 with a few clouds and a water surface to rival even the most perfect sheet of glass. This was the second time out with the new 7.4L, just trying to get that 1st 20 hours before the season hits. In almost 4 hours of motoring around lake mead we saw 2 motor boats and 3 sail boats. I didn't have the heart to ask one of sailors why the big sheet of cloth hanging perfectly vertical. Anyway one guy looked very busy pulling on a rope several times towards the rear of his craft
<br /><br />The thing I learned, though, was all about trim and tabs. Very interseting to get on a perfectly smooth lake and play around with the settings at various speeds. <br /><br />Got off the lake by 1:00pm for a perfect little put some hours on the new motor day. This is going down as the mellowest day ever, nothing exicting happened, just up the lake for about two hours and then back down. I had a great time, maybe after 6 months and $5500 of new motor I've become easy to please... I think some of you will understand
