Re: FLYING FISH spotted in TB
Nice boat! Must have been fun on the flat bay. I love the feel of flat water under my boat. What were your speeds, top and comfortable cruise.

Re: FLYING FISH spotted in TB
Your right the bay was flat and the ocean was very nice also. Flying Fish is not a race boat so we can't ask Ken how fast she will go. She has a very smoth ride with a nice wide beamie deck. We practiced parking mostly all weekend so when the wind comes up I don't look like a fool trying to park. Twins are fun to park with. When she is trimed up against the outgoing tide she does 38knots so I guess we won't be the last boat there or back. The more I play with the boat the better I like her.

Re: FLYING FISH spotted in TB
Nice. Glad you got a chance to do a couple of shakedown cruises....I've been doing the same. Practicing anchoring and retrieving, maneuvering in the marina, launching and trailering, getting the hang of the electronics etc....fun process to learn in a new ride! Still getting the itch for a bigger one or is this one growing on you?

It is not how fast you get out there...it is how fast you find the fish!
Trail'R Sail'R showed many times last year that it is not the fastest boat that catches the fish first...
Boat looks great!

I'm confused.
Nice day on the bay. No speeding in the 5mph area.
