thats what i would need is the small tricks that can be costly if you dont know .i have never owned at high performance deckboat and it is alittle differant ride in a cat style boat.
Usually the best thing to do is to find someone who is very familiar with a boat that is similar to the one you are going to be driving and go for a ride with them. Ask any question you want and have them show you how. Just make sure they have tons of hours on the same type of boat in ALL conditions. Usually works out best that way.
I am sure with the amount of members here on ***boat, there would be plenty of really good drivers willing to help.

Hmm i'm thinking about buying a 257...would anyone know where i could drive one??? hehe i knew there had to be a loophole
Not to sound like I cant handle my boat, but I'm shure I could learn something.
the lavey deck just can out and dont think that there are to many out ther yet.
The "find some one w/ something similar" advice is what i did, and it worked fairly well. I learned what not to do, and what to expect when. It helped alot. I was comfortable enough to run 106 the 2nd time out, and had more throttle, but wasn't sure trim wise. Now i've got the feel for flying the boat, and 106 is childs play :boxed:
