my new best friend

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Check your break in period... I'm pretty sure it's more than 3 hours.

Or at least you're not to run for more than 5 min at a time full out for the first 10 hours.

I still like that Legend :lol:
my owners manual reads. total of 4 hours to break in my 115 optimax? what motor do you have?

Do you have any issues pulling her with your truck? Any big difference from the last boat?
My Jimmy pulls it with no trouble at all. I keep the transmission in 3rd gear as the manual recamends. Stoping is really the only differnce. I just installed new breaks and sloted roters in front. I noticed that my jimmy is really set up for towing. I have disk breaks on all four wheels. The front calipers have 2 pistons in each.

Boat weight is around 2500 lbs total. My last boat would have been around 900lbs?

There's the difference... I have a 4 stroke 115 so my break in is different.

Sorry about that bad assumption on my part.
