Dw 28 initial test results

[JPEROG]

Dan ran the boat with the legendary ex offshore racer Rick Bowling for a couple of hours today and turned up to 5800 at 115.8. He still has not changed the motor height or propellers since it was initially rigged so that will be a couple of the next steps for him. The boat "hop" depending on wind and trim is from 63 to 74 mph and that was the worst that they experienced with no head wind, on flat water and trim at neutral. He said that going into a head wind and giving it some more positive trim it became a "non-issue". He is still not out of break-in with these motors and feels for sure that the boat will run low to mid twenties as we expected once he has a chance to get it up to the 6300 rpm goal. This should be a new leader for stock 300XS power on a boat of this size for sure. Dan and Rick were both very happy with how the boat handled and said that it felt very stable and planted as they put it through some of its paces today. We still have some open spots on the special group purchase that I have coordinated. The next boat will be rigged with 400s and is coming to Central Florida.

We will be getting some video footage of future testing soon.
