Sea Trial tomorrow - any tips?

[Bluewater272]

Looks like I'm going to be taking out a '17 Limited S for a sea trial tomorrow, weather permitting. Any tips on what to do, what to check/play with? It's a demo boat with a dozen hours on it.

If all goes well and we settle on a number, they're going to do the 10-hour service and I'll pick it up later this month... just in time to park it until Spring

Make sure both motors start...... lol but seriously I would check to make sure throttle are aligned properly. Also look for many marks/chips/scratches on the boat. Make sure anywhere you see screws - that they aren't over tightened and cracked the plastic.

make sure it accelerates to your satisfaction (it should make you go back in your seat) and doesn't pull hard either way,

What RPM should these generally be cruising at WOT? At 30MPH?
