How about them bucket seats!

Man do these things turn!

Did somebody get a little aggressive on the trim/jack plate height? What speed did you go around at? Somebody on here has said they went around at 80mph and stayed in the seat.

Not exactly lol.. I slowed to 50ish lowered the trim a bit and proceeded to make a hard turn.. seems the boat wanted to turn harder so I went with it and proceeded to be plastered to the right side of the bucket while completing my U-Turn without slowing down much.... holy crap.. I was grinning from ear to ear!

But then a little later.. I haven't yet mastered slowing down yet.. I kinda.. got a little bit out of sorts... buckets help there too lol



but Lee just gave me some advice to drop the plate.. to slow down..

I would imagine you'd stay in the seat even at 80...

yup. don't want to trim down through turns, gotta keep that nose up.

Go around fast enough and the seat will go with you

Can you share some thoughts on turning in general? Thx

If that's true, how did they stay in the seat in Mod VP? Seems like the Formula One boats all trim down in a turn.
