    Well i just purchased my first tunnel, 21 daytona with an outboard. I took it out for the first time this past weekend. WOW is rides and drives like nothing I have been on before, now my questions, whats the fastes way to run this thing, I am used to trim up and the less boat n the water the better. Any points on driving my tunnnel is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Take some time to get use to the ride of the boat. As im sure you noticed its alot different from a V or a flatty. Learn how to handle chop and boat swells coming at you. Once your comfortable and want to get the max out of your new toy, youll want to play with different props and motor height. Good luck and congrats!

    Which 21 Daytona did you buy? That is a great hull and can really handle some chop for it's size. Boy I miss my 21...

    I owned a 21 daytona for 8 years and that was a damn fun boat.... it's pretty hard to go wrong with that boat.... I think the "wakes" are the only thing to fear.....drive slow and pace yourself....(the best you can) good luck and welcome to the boards!

    With twins, YES. With a single, it's actually a blast to make turns.
